Was going to wait till Monday but got motivated after seeing all the Mopars at Darling's show in Augusta Maine on Saturday and finished getting the quarters, rear window area, dutchman panel and jambs in epoxy today. Next job is cleaning up some spots on the inside of the trunk pan and getting epoxy on it, then I can start cutting out the front floor pan.

Looking good so far. I don't think I will ever do a full resto on my Roached Runner since it is only a 383 car. However, I did also install the full floor pan to at least make it safe to drive. Even check out my 70's seat covers....

Dropped in pretty nicely although not fun trying to get it in the door opening by myself. Just needs a little fine tuning with hammer and dolly and a little trimming along the edges to fit better then it's on to drilling lots of holes for plug welding. Of course I'll clean up and coat inside the rails before final install.
