The body rebuild process has begun.
I have a very talented bodyman that is doing the work in my shop, as I couldn't do this on my own.
Progress will be a bit slow as he can only come here on Saturdays, but he is a very persistent, so gets quite a bit done when he's here.

First step, now that the old floor is completely removed, is to rebuild where the rocker meets the floor and the hinge jam as well as the body mount boxes.

Yeah, couldn't pass up the opportunity to razz you a little [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

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]
