I'm really enjoying this thread - a 67 Marlin is a bucket list car for me, and a lot of what you are doing with this one is right along the lines of what I'd do myself.

That you are aggressively de-chroming the car is turning out far better than I imagined it would, and gave me an idea that I'm curious if you've considered - swapping out the exterior door handles for the 68 and up flush handles?  Since the Rebels and Ambassadors used them, and the door guts are fundamentally the same between the models, it would still look factory, but custom at the same time.  thoughts?

I am enjoying this project as well. My buddy's old Javelin had the exact same kind of dents in the quarter panels. He always thought it was from an unfastened bumper jack shooting around in the trunk too.

The doors would swap from say a 1968 Ambassador or Rebel onto the respective 1967 models including the Marlin. Door panels wouldn't swap between the door types because the hardware is a little different.

Could have been Jimmy Hoffa in the trunk 😁

Last drive of the year over the weekend; amazing that I was able to drive it into November in this area of the world. Sanded and glazed in a few places to remove some chips and scratches and epoxied to seal it up for later. Left the beauty rings off while cleaning up the wheels and tires; I think it looks mean, kind of a stock car look.

Check out this sweet piece of fortune! Was perusing Kennedy American's online catalog and saw an NOS driver-side quarter panel extension molding. Righteous! Mine's not terrible but it has a critical dent. I'll keep the old one because somebody might be able to repair it and use it.
