This is the one I sold.
Is there a source for quarter panel patch panels?

Welcome back x2!
The one you sold,,, have heard a lot a that but hey you have a new project! Would be great to read about your plans for it and maybe a build thread.

Welcome aboard! 
I had a 41 year gap between my first and second 65 Cyclones. Felt good to get one back in my garage. Looking forward to your build thread and following your progress.

I’m honestly thinking of keeping it red.
The paint that is there is mostly good enough. Except for the lower parts of both rear quarters.
Somebody sanded the top of the left front fender so that will get paint.
I don’t want to become a slave to the paint…again!
The molding are all good,I do need the lower drivers door piece,window are good. The grill and rear panels need the detail pant but are in good shape.

you may have to join the page to see it. on a desktop you can click on his name & see all the post he made on that site for more pics. I think (guessing) he just got burnt out & wanted to get back to work on his car.
