You need to document that with pic and dimensions.
No, seriously...
Notice the offset to clear the brake line.

I used the Eastwood rust encapsulator quite a bit when I did the metal work on my RR 7 + years ago and I was impressed with how it went on.

It did have a vinyl roof yes, it won't be going back on, naked. This car will be a lovely red all over.

Yes, I always perk up when I see your coupe.

actually, that brings up a question. Was the Plymouth 1969 color called Scorch Red (as my GTX is) and the 1970 Plymouth changed to Tor-red?
Was a bit confused about that. Thanks

Good question.
R6 seems to be the same for both years.

ok, thanks, it seems maybe Scorch Red was a darker shade?

I see Tor red listed in the 1970 paint chip too, so it is definitely a different color.

The reason I'm asking is because of all the times people come on here and ask about converting to a four speed and they always forget about the frame mount. When they ask "where do I find one", I can explain to them that they have to fab one., I'll save a copy in my C-Body Automatic to Manual Transmission Conversion Manual coming soon to Amazon.

I got busy buy today and did a bunch of stuff. Check the picks for progress, I also got a couple more things in the mail. I also built a shelf for my windshield to keep it safe while I'm working on the car.

A bit more work, this cold snap and rain is keeping me indoors so I haven't done much. Also, I pulled the front marker lights out of the guards and well, hmm, didn't notice this till I did, see what the issue is?

I also pulled the rear window out, yup plenty of rust and a previous repair using some foam!

Looks like you lost the entire first layer of that window channel. Actually might make it easier to fix than having to form small patches in here and there. With the sport roof at least you don’t have to figure out the depth of those formal corners. That wasn’t easy winging it.
