Dodj

Check out my build thread, you will be surprised! But in the end, I could have paid more for a more intact car but would have ended up paying the same.

Six of this, half dozen of that.

Wow! What didn't you replace?!? The ash tray?

Built a body roller so i can move it out back into my workshop.  Accumulated some AMD sheetmetal while at the shows.  Looks like a fall startup.  Thinking about building a body cart.

Working on a jig/table over the winter.

Couple of things...

1. Nice jig!

2. Is it parallel or did you make the "front" a bit narrow?

3. Are you building "standoffs" for it?

Finally, very creative solution to getting the car up onto it without a lift!

The widest portion of the barracuda frame rail is 49" which is the rear frame rail, so the table/jig is 49" wide from front to back.

Nice jig and good luck with the work.
You are tackling a lot of sheet metal work; good for you
I'm worrying about just replacing my trunk floor and only part of the driver's side front floor pan
