Getting closer on the semi - shaved drip rails. Or at least that is the best way to describe them. The finished result will be more of a body line feature but also functional where it mostly hides the window seal.

Not a bad starting point. Passenger side needs some metal work while the driver side needs both bumper and fender modification. Will look good when finished.

Coming along nicely. I like your take on the drip rails. I'm not sure I've seen someone do an in between style. Do you plan to paint it body color or maybe a trim color?

Default Hi Mate.

I got curious so I started to look at your build thread, I can't wait to sit down and read it from start to finish. Awesome attention to detail. It's rolling art mate. Cheers Trevor

Some fender modification. Fender extension welded along with some body line adjustment for bumper fitment. Will finish welding with the Tig and silicon bronze filler rod then blend.

Function over form for the fuel pump access panel on account of being centered over the pump as opposed to the trunk pan. It will be covered by carpet anyhow. Then back on the rotisserie for more finish welding with the tig.
