You would have saved me a lot of money if you had bought it
It looked scary when it came back from blasting.
I'm finally at a computer so I'll see if I can get the picture thing working...
Here is the cross bracing added to the original bracing I created based on suggestions earlier in this thread.... You can also see how the hardtop AMD quarter panel was cut and modified to be used in a convertible application. Turns out the vert amd quarters are outsourced and grafted or modified to vert upper quarter sections in a similar way. They don't come as a clean stamp from AMD.
The other side...
All the repair work on the front end is mostly complete and welded. The rear is fitted and pinned but still mostly un welded. It still has a long way to go to get all the metal massaged perfectly but its coming along. Its looking like late spring now for a complete roller. But by then I'll have saved up more for interior pieces. Rebuilding the drive train is still a way's off though. Luckily I know a mechanic that has offered to help me when that day comes.
