Looks like you have your work 'cut out' (pun intended) for you on the black car.....looking at the bottom of the windshield channel, I can see some more serious reconstruction is in order [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img]

Yes, the windshield channel and the part below it will need to be repaired, but I've rounded up the pieces to fix those areas. Bringin' her back from nearly dead. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Took the body off the frame yesterday and did a final fit of the firewall section with toe-boards, then welded that long seam, as well as fixing several extra holes from aftermarket gauges and accessories.

Yeah, Eric is a great guy, and very talented at figuring out what will work best in each situation to repair it right. I've already told him there's more cars I need done.
I think I'll open a body shop [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] and put him on as manager/partner, as he needs to be doing these old cars more!
