Order for Panel Repair?

[ThatGuy93]

My 72 is pretty rough, doing all floors, full quarts, filler panel, possibly a roof skin...so I would imagine that the floors is what I would start with, so let me know if this order makes the most sense as far as simplicity.

1. Floors. I have the trunk floor, but the main floor section is back ordered for another month or two. So I figure start with the trunk floor and then continue forward when the rest came in.

2. Quarters

3. Filler panel

4. Doing the 3" wider inner wheel wells, so I figured do the inners and outers at this point?

Then after that assess what I have left for a roof and go from there. Also I am sure I will have some rocker issues, should that be done after floors and quarters?

Does that sound like the best process to go at this?

I would say you thought the process through as it was built. The one thing it can be a plane crash or train wreck. So before it happens Brace Brace Brace. I hope you planed for that.Good luck! Other may have other suggestions.

didn;t know they made 3 inch wider inner wheel housings..trunk floor has frame rail extensins under floor get them and do one quarter panel at a time so the body won;t flex all over the place

Sounds good, I have bracing in the doors and across the B posts. Ill add some more before I start cutting the floors out. AMD just posted a few weeks ago that they have 3" wider inners. Of course a week after I ordered the standard inners...

there is a lot of room in the wheel wells how wide of a tire you going with

This will be a restomod hellcat swap car. Dont have a size picked out yet though, but will want the room there. Going with a 4 link most likely as well, possibly 3 link.

Will do, the shell should have been at the blaster a few weeks ago but this stupid snow keeps coming back. Hopefully get that done in the next couple weeks and can get going on it in April sometime.
