Per,
Please use photobucket so your pictures dont go away. Dutch can set you up if you need help.

I want to watch and review what you do and its sad when the pictures are gone. :swear:

Nice start I am sure you will brace the door jambs to the fire wall before you put her on the rotisserie  :22yikes:

Put a bar in place of your door so the car won’t twist on the rotisserie you could use the striker bolt and a upper hinge bolt hole just to keep the car from flexing without a roof it will flex twist and move easily on you.

I will try to find a picture for ya.  :bigsmile:

Indeed it is, if you check in the bodysection you get the hole problem.

The "G" is for Gus Johnson.  He worked as an Inspector on 2nd Shift on the body assembly line at the Hamtramck plant from 1954 to 1984.  He put three daughters through the University of Michigan, one of whom is a doctor here in Champaign.
