great progress there 

ya think?

im wondering what i should actually solidify first.
roof needs to go under the 1/4s, but the trunk area needs to sit over em, kinda 6 of 1 half dozen of the other

[mopardave]

true enough,  start at the top and work down . panel bond most of the roof and move on the the trunk floor.

well, today in the franken'cuda castles secret laboratory i made the drivers a-pillar that was wasted.







then i set about repairing this ungodly mess.
thanks to my good friend dmz i had some replacement panels on hand.
thanks bro!! saved me a bunch-o-time   








naturally, all shots taken are of the good view only, i wouldnt want anyone to see the real truth!

I do the same WOS, I don't want others to see what a hack job I'm doing so I only show the good pics!
Welders and grinders are wonderful, aren't they?

Your worst body work would be considered my best John.   I'm totally amazed at your work and progress.

Wowsa, that car has some rot to it. You are doing a superb job with the fabrication   

[hezzel]

  Very nice work

[74chall]

your reallying plugging away there john. Great progress, you going to do the trunk floor while the quaters are off?

[DMZ73]

Wow John, the cuda is coming along nicely. Looks like you have a few more surprises at every turn. Looks like the roof structure pieces you bought from me may come in quite handy.
Looking at the devastation from the cancer, that carvmust have been a tub of water. Hahaha...
Nice work on the fab job on the pillar.
Great progress.
Keep it up! You are definitely inspiring me to dig in.
