What brand sheetmetal are you using?  I looked thru your thread and see the AMD roof, what about the quarters (I saw a goodmark box).  Nice work.

well done John!
You blow me away... Fantastic work to say the least. I wish I could see how you did the bonding agent. Sounds like a but of a PIA by hand.
Your fitment looks great from the pics. I think people might benefit from seeing some final shots of the C pillar/quarter panel/ window channel, as well as the door gaps.
Hopefully your new camera will be up to snuff.;)
great work- I even saw a few clamps in there... :roflsmiley:

Quite nice, as usual.  :2thumbs:
