Here are some updated pics.
I just wasn't happy with the 68 repro trunk so I scrapped it and put in a 67.

Amazing work. I'm impressed with these uni-body resurrections.

I passed on buying a 69 vert out of Louisiana because I worried the tub would need sheetmetal surgery like this car.

The 68 trunk floor didn't fit. It was 1/2 to 3/4 too short end for end and the contour did not fit the rails correctly.

I made some progress today.
Got my closeouts welded in for the mini tubs.

I also started fitting my firewall jig so I can prep the cowl and firewall to weld in.

I got the firewall and cowl welded in today and will hopefully weld in the floor tomorrow.

It is really starting to take shape now.
