Day 2 - Quarter Panel Part 1

The next thing we will be doing is getting quotes for how much it would be to do the body work on this charger. To get accurate bids, I will be removing the paint and bondo layers to reveal any troubled spots. This will mostly consist of sanding down the rear section of the vehicle and exposing the rusted areas. My good friend Paul came over to help with the sanding. We will be concentrating on the driver side quarter panel. The car seemed to have a few layers on top of the metal, you had the metal then a red primer (possibly from the factory) then a pale yellow then a gray primer then a vibrant yellow, bondo, then the silver paint you see on the car


Upon closer inspection you can see where they used fiberglass once again, this time to create a look of the lower quarter panel. This piece will have to be replaced.

The Rear Valance also has some bad spots as you can see.
