I agree with Kevin...it's really looking good, Jared.
From the outside, the quarter didn't look that bad, but the inside tells a different story.

Jack, I totally agree. It's amazing how straight dad got the metal. He's pretty good with the hammer, dolly and slapping spoon. The damage was just too severe so that by the time he got it back into shape, he was actually hammering through the metal. Obviously he learned on that and could do better now.

There is definitely an art to metal working. Metal can easily become stretched and overworked. Your dad did the best he could with what he had to work with...and yes, he did get it pretty straight looking. Once everything is filled, blocked, primed, etc, you won't be able tell anything.

and it's alot harder to make a car look original than it is to modifying the body

Wow! That's quite a compliment. Thanks! I wouldn't call us body men, but we're doing the best we can.

your Dad is correct the 62 had the words spelled out on the back corners and the 64 is a blue and red emblem sorry I can not help out but I will keep an eye out for you at our next swap meet Jeff

Wow Jared, I can't believe I got so far behind on this thread. I've been pretty busy lately with moving, work and trying to get things set up so I can do some side work for extra money. You guys have been doing a lot of quality work. The Galaxie is looking great. You guys have been kicking *ss!

So it should be ready for primer in a few more weeks? That's awesome! Keep us posted and I'll try to keep up this time. Lol
