ready to go to the bodyshop on monday...




i also adapted a Scat steering wheel by removing it from his riveted hub and bolting it to a Sparco hub.

the roof and the rear window are done


the right side panel has been worked and repaired.
before:


after


i also received my skin panel from Summit (Goodmark).
but.....the panel is bended, no wood frame in the box to reinforce the package....so during the shipping it was damaged.



And the quality is not very good ! the stamping of the fuel door is not straight at all!!!


it will have to be reworked to suit the trap....

All the panels are beated by use over years, so a thin coat of bondo is necessary but it's very a small amount compare to what was fitted before.


Tomorrow the left rear panel will be replaced .... can't wait to see the result !!!

Always loved that car...you're making it look sweet.
Even with primer the wheels are smokin!
