Good stuff.

 

[Rusty Olds]

Good on you mate, it is always nice to get a hand when you need it.

 

[Hunter]

I've been busy piecing all the inside structure that holds the package tray to the body corners--lots of fun and it's now done so a little more hammer and dolley work on the roof then the trunk lid--moving along--slow but still moving

 

[tinmann]

Atta boy Bob. Thanks for the update. Lookin' good.

 

[DougE]

Looks great! A sugestion would be to chop the windshield before finishing the metal just to be sure the angles on the a pillar are perfect, because you can't bend the glass to fit. Also, 1 piece windshields are available for a different look.

 

[Hunter]

well I have been quiet but still plodding forward--learned 1 thing and that is--DO NOT cut all the inside frame out of the trunk lid--the outer skin becomes like a funky chicken--flopping all over the place--and it was the best one sooooo--clean it--rust mort it and tack it back together without warping it--

 

[Hunter]

filled the holes while apart

then put it on the car to see how it fit--pretty good

did lots of studying the dreaded trunk and finally decided it's time to cut the 65 feet of bracing out and let the body relax before tackling the trunk so tonite it was sparky time--

 

[Hunter]

ok we are this far--planning done--looking ok--time to do it

 

[wayne]

IS it

Is this your first chop? being a 4 dr its one h___ of a job.I only wish mine will be as good,also building a 4 dr.ford

What an absolutely brilliant job done there Bob and Steph, it didn't seem that long ago Tinmann and the boys were there giving you a hand. Something of a big job you can surely be proud of. Maybe we'll get a chance to take a look at it in August I hope.
