Been picking away at the roll cage. Ended up buy a manual bender kit and converting it to air/hydraulic . Little bit of a learning curve but it’s coming along!

Finished up the metal work in the wheel wells and in the trunk. Would’ve like to have had a bead roller to make my patch panels look better but I’m happy with how it turned out. Also installed my Calvert racing spring set up. And fabricated new rear mounts for the shackle sliders. Took quite a...

Been a long time since the last update. Progress is still happening. Front suspension is all in. Car is a roller for the first time in 10+ years.

I recieved my front end rebuild kit. So before I started putting it all together I wanted to add some reinforcing plates to the lca. I know firmfeel sold the plates, but ever since their website updated I don’t see them. So I made my own. Here’s the result.

I’ve slowly been picking away at the drivers side. Cut the old panel off and prepped the rocker area and the trunk extension for the new panel. And I couldn’t resist test fitting the new panel. Working on cleaning up the backside of the new panel. And welding in the inner wheel well. Also...

I undercoated the inside of the quarter panel while it was off and everything accessible. I also used weld through primer in all the places I was going to weld. More pictures and more to come.

Little bit of an update. I managed to save the inner wheelhouse from the donor car to use on my car. I decided not to “mini tub” the car currently because I can fit a wide enough tire in it currently. One day if I decide to go fill race I will back half the car and go full wheel tubs. Anyways...

Perhaps white cars received white filler panels? All other colors received silver?

Just to add to the bumper filler panel discussion. The front filler panel on my unrestored 65 sport fury is silver. And so was the panels on another unrestored car that I sold. The car I sold is red and the car I have now is blue… either way it’s an interesting topic.

Can’t believe I missed this thread. Just finished going through the whole thing! Inspired me to keep working on all of my projects. I’d like to build my 65 sport fury similarly to yours! You’ve given me lots a great ideas. Keep up the good work!

More work being done. I’ve started to cut out most of the old material from the old quarters and I’ve fitted the new one on very loosely. I decided to splice the new on in before the tail light buckets because there is a dent in the corner of one of the new panels and the other was also mis...

Got the passenger side quarter cut off today. Now I can get this fury 3 out of the garage and get cutting on the sedan.

Made some progress today. Drivers side removed. Probably be two weeks before I get to the other side but I’m liking how it’s going! I’m also going to cut out sections of the inner fender well to use on my other car. While also “mini tubbing” it.

Needs a little more grinding in a few spots. But getting closer! It’s going to need some hammer and dolly work above the wheel arches. After they come off I’ll beable to get those areas decently straight.

Little update. I’m pretty pleased with how this rear lower quarter patch is coming along!

Started working on the drivers side too! I hope to be done with rust repair this month to get the parts car out and free up space in the garage.

A little update on this project. It’s been a few years now since I’ve done anything with it. And those cheap quarter panel patches that we used just required too much messing around and there’s more filler material in the quarters than I am comfortable with now. So I located a half decent parts...

Wet sanded the car with 220 last weekend. One more coat of primer and sand with 400 and shell be ready for paint!! Can't wait to see this thing with some color!

A lot has happened over the last few months. Bottom of the car was undercoated. Subframe and rearend were painted and bolted up. Front sheet metal is all on and lined up! Won't be long until it's in paint now!!

Here it is getting tacked up and welded I still need to repair the sheet metal further up the wheel well. More on that tomorrow. The mount on the bottom is in and completely solid now.
