:)

time to shave the firewall first :cheesy:



started stripping it down


welded up the harness hole since im running a painless harness later on!




now time for the fun part, i removed the wiper assembly since this car wont see rain and shaved the gutter sytem as well, i used some thick steel for the wall for reinforcement, oh i also capped the hood stopper bracket on the drivers side since it would have been left open :cool:




a mag for motivation! :biggrin:




welded


time for some mudwork, i used big does advice and used all- metal filler later on around the edges! :cool:

I like coupes but really wanted a fleetwood I just couldnt find one rust free enough, i guess i'll just make one :cool:

got these from Albert Munoz along with the trim :cool:

I had to extend the piller so i used 1/8 inch steel and cut as an L-shape, so the fleet windows would have something to screw to, the L peices were spot welded in but weld thru- primed before hand to avoid rust inbetween the metals


also the gutter rail had to be removed over the frame also welded and fiberglassed back in to the inner quarter glass jamb structure jamb
needs more blocking but starting to look good!






i also went ahead and scuffed the inside roof section the used a high build primer to block any moisture :cool:

decided to move the car out from once spot cause of the painter lagging and bring it to another spot where it will get further along!
