ok time for an update... the day after i installed the blue 1/4 i went to my local bone yard and my buddy there says hey Dan.. I found that other new 1/4 you were looking for last winter... and there it was on the outdoor shelf a few lil dents and surface rust.... but there it was.... I scored it and a repop tailgate in the box for $100 total...
NICE! tonight I located a swing away spare assembly ..hope its till available and can get it...
anyhow i spent friday D/A ing the surface rust off.and etch priming the quarter..
test fit it to find that the lower seems to be a hair shorter that an OE one but ill make it work...
re-adjusted the torque box mount i fabricated... did some detail work on the extension between the B pillar and the back ( made a new piece to seal off the rocker innard from the elements) slopped some POR15 and mounted the quarter...this weekend im gonna cut down an aftermarket door (rust n rot free for $50 bux) and mount it D/A it and etch prime it then all i will have left is to make the plate to replace the rotted out torque box (or rocker box as some call it) and the drivers side half will be all rebuilt with rust free steel! will have to fit the replacement door to fit a lil better than the old one which i hung quick to seal off the open door... making progress! LOL
