Update 1/19
 

Still plugging away, made some progress in the garage today ... it was actually in the 50's :)

Anyway, here is the patch I cut out to finish off the right side, came out pretty good, still need to weld a couple pin holes and drill the fender bolt holes.

A look back .... much better now:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Can you see the difference? Little more touch up and we'll call it GOOD!

Thanks for looking ... more to come.:thumbsup:

As chico would say, Loooking goood!!!!!

Nice work Chief!
Who makes and sells the panel clamps that you are using? They look fairly sturdy compared the the Eastwood ones. :headscratch:

Nice job it looks good.

Thanks for the kudos Steve.:thankyou:

Thanks ... :thankyou: I went all over the web to find these again and I cannot find the Hot Rod shop that I bought the last set from, I bought a set of 10 for my brother last year. They are awesome if you can find them, Much sturdier then the Chinese made panel clamps :thumbsup:

Thanks Wayne ... she's getting there :thankyou:

1/27 Update
 

Finally the weather was nice (50's IN JANUARY?) so I took advantage and got out the 80 grit, prep sol and wiped everything down and sprayed some epoxy on the backside of the firewall and the door pillars/ hinge post.

I have been working on the details to get this ready to weld ..... I want it to be perfect before I weld. I have had that cowl off at least 50 times and I think I have it where I can start welding :thumbsup: I can't wait til I do the quarters ... that'll take 75 times off and on before I get to weld.
