You guys are moving fast. It's amazing looking compared to what it started out as.

The drip rails were removed and welded



Welds ground



We still have more work to do inside the car but to stop the surface Brian sanded it down to bare metal



I sprayed two coats of SPI black epoxy and it is back in the fab shop

We had a major set back. Brian lined up the doors but when he went to line up the fenders and hood he found a major problem. A former employee welded the front end on wrong even though he measured and remeasured before welding. There was very little gap on the left door and a large gap on the right side so the front end had to be cut off. After working on this about two weeks at my expense Brian is satisfied with how it lines up and we should be able to start charging the customer again early next week.





The replacement outer torque box had to be modified to get it to fit.
