1968 Cutlass Conv't 

This is Bruce DeJoris' 1968 Cutlass Conv't.  When it got here, the body was in rather rough condition.  This car needs a lot of work, and it'll be a while before it's done.

This car needs a lot of work.  The quarters, inner and outter wheel houses, floor pans, trunk pans, and body mounts need replaced.  It's going to take some time.

The inner and outter wheel wells are in bad shape.

The floor pans definitely need replaced.

The doors need some work as well.  We've cut out a rotted piece here and will replace it with a new piece.

The old floor pans have been cut out, and the new floors are ready to be fitted.

Here is a rotted area at the base of the quarter and door that we had to cut out and replace.

We had to hand fabricate a new rear trunk floor brace.  If nobody has it, we make it!

Here is a better shot of the brace....

Bruce's trunk floor has been replaced. It looks great.

We have cut Bruce's driver's quarter out and are preparing to fit and weld in a new one.

The new quarter has been fitted and welded, and the seams have been filled in and sanded to keep a smooth body line.

There's plenty more where this came from!

Keep checking back!
