It's really not too bad, it takes way longer to make the parts fit than anything. I am further along. I just ran out of time last night with pictures.

The ones I have are all wrinkled up at the curves. I don't want to use them and will probably order new ones of better quality. Have a link the where you got yours?

Thanks Mike,
I recommend you try Tabco and specify only USA made parts. They actually use taiwan parts when they run out of their own. I am considering buying the passenger side pan from them.

Glutten for punishment. Honestly, I have always wanted a 70 CST with all the chrome and goodies like my 3/4 ton. Now I will have one
Besides, I need the practice because I have 2 Camaros with lots of rust.

Not bored just motivated. I never liked the shaved driprail. I just figured the rust would be that bad. As you know the deeper you go on these the more rust you find. You need to call Tabco if you're using their parts, they will substitute the Taiwan parts if they are out of stock. They do still make some oem thickness grade panels from what I understand.

Thanks Mark,
You are welcome to look at what I did to make the drivers side work. It needed lots of love to get it installed.
