What started as a paint job….

…has turned into a restoration.
On stripping we found this really bad attempt to deal with a spot of rust on the left rear quarter panel. Half a metal plate and a lot of bondo!

Tony,

Because I can’t get lacquer in CA, I went through probably 50 paint chips to try to match the color to Aspen White (the original color on the trunk lid hinges. Believe it or not, Toyota #1 is almost indistinguishable to the eye (my eye anyway!).

Here is a picture of the hood as it was being color sanded.

Looks like mainly on a flat area. Shouldn't be too bad to repair by a decent body/metal person.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?

My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
