I used a shrinker to curve the angle. I would normally use 20 gauge on the tubs, but the tub wil rivet to the roll cage on this car and the body is removable, this made me go with 18 gauge. The top of the tub will be 20 though.

Got the gas tank mounts built, man this stuff is taking way too long. Hoping to have all chassis stuff done this week, and just consentrate on sheet metal. I'm pretty happy with how it is coming out, but fear its going to be as heavy as everything else I build.

Got the tank top mounts made and the floor between the tubs. Really makes you think, as to how the panels will lay due the body unbolting from the frame.

That's a big panel to get steps rolled in.Looks great.

Got the tubs welded in, the removable body made it so the tubs had to be slotted, so when the body leaves the rollbar slides right through the opening. The opening will get a cover when its installed all the way. The panels between the tub and the door jamb look like they are going to be a PITA, you can see the wheelbase change at the tub area.

Looking So far Ron.Will you want remove after you finish ed the car or just for final assembly.

57hemicuda 03-28-2013 02:48 AM

The body will probably never leave the chassis again once its built, I just loved it for the cage work, and the fact that I can if I ever want to change things up. Who knows, Pro Street might make a come back.LOL
