Re: 65 Fairlane pro-touring build

I've been working on the rear taillight panel. Needed to fill the fuel door and all the stock trim holes. When I cut out the existing structure for the door, it made the trunk latch very flimsy, so I built a reinforcement panel that triangulates the latch and really firms it up. There are a lot of dings in the panel that were covered with plastic filler originally. I've got some more hammer and dolly work to do before it's ready once again for filler. That's a problem for future Vic, though.
