not sure what you meant by rear fenderwells Badjuju, so I'll add my areas:
-quarter panels in front/back of wheel opening.
-rear lower area of fenders
Both of these are common patch areas. Also check the driprails, quarters where they meet the roofline (filler/welding area, prone to cracks & bubbles if not prepped/painted correctly).

Problem Area,
Check the rear shock mount area, very comon for rusting & breaking through.
cracks in quarters by quarter glass, rear frame rails, floors & rockers of corse.
below back glass, & front crossmember mount area's, top of cowl below windshield. make sure it hasn't already had quarters installed. if so were they installed correctly??
That is all I can think of right now. good luck.

Thanks guys, the car is basicly a pile of parts right now. The guy says the frame/body are extremely good though. He has everything to complete the car except motor/tranny/front grille. Do the grilles from 67-69 interchange? This car will be a very very aggressive street car that will see LOTS of track time. Anyone have an extra 68 title lying around they would be willing to part with?

only grilles that will interchange on your model are rally sports ones. Between 67-68 they are the same (68 could have chrome edged grilles as well while 67 models were black, but they were the same design). 69 used different fenders, header panels and valances so they won't interchange.
