Thanks

We used a silicon bronze rod to weld that area with... It is easier to grind and finish...

Cool - thanks. That is what I would have guessed, but wasn't sure.

metal work looks OK, but damn!! who built that chassis, it looks killer in those engine compartment pics, are you gonna run those sheet metal panels and cover that fancy chassis work up or are they temporary? Just messin with you, sheet metal work looks amazing, always impressed with your work!!

Time for a few updates... We worked with the Ring Brothers to come up with a one off set of hinges for this car.. They work and look great!! We also finished the belly pans under the rear of the car between the quarters and the fuel tank.. We also are making a chin spoiler for under the front bumper, raised sheetmetal floor mat panels that will sit flush with the rug and will have a non slip type of material inserted and lastly installed the fuel filler cap in the top of the quarter panel..
