I'm off of my car break, and back to sheet metal. There's only one really significant thing left, and that's the back panel. It's trashed, but I have a replacement. The replacement is for a 1970-1979, but I'll "make it fit".

Before.
All gone.
The old, and the new.
I spend lots of time fitting, and refitting, and adjusting, and refitting. The most challenging part is mating the panel to the rear fenders cleanly. I have to do some cutting and welding to make everything line up, but the end result is pretty nice. I bought "new to me" tail light assemblies off of eBay and make sure everything fits. It takes a long time; the driver's rear quarter had been smacked in pretty good. I do lots of pulling and straightening and fitting. It's not perfect; I'll have to do a little filling to make things look right, but it will be 99% less filler than before.
Final test fit...
And all done.
