If it only cost a Quarter...

Back when this car was originally made a quarter could really get you pretty far. Unfortunately in our lives a quarter doesn't really get you anything. So for me the only useful thing a quarter is is my quarter panel. Which is done!

As you have seen in previous posts we got the curves done for the quarter panel. It took a little convincing probably a few headaches and some pains, but they are done.


The basic construction of the rest of the quarter panel is just like the doors. You have an arm rest that holds in the plywood paneling along with two upright posts. You can check out what this looks like in previous postings. And like to doors it also gets a trim but the pattern is a little different then the doors and tailgate. See below...


Also to throw in a teaser picture. This shows you basically what the outline of the car looks like without the doors or the roof. If you squint really hard, turn your head sideways, and have a really good imagination you can almost see the car finished.


We are really starting to get to the home stretch but to the sadness of all of us the car will not be going to Boise with us. Although disappointing it still has been an enjoyable and fun experience working with my Dad. So all of you out there rooting against us...you win. You know who you are.
