Heres a few more progress pics. I'm hung up on the sheetmetal work and trying to get it presentable, Since my last post I made the firewall, floor, removable trans cover, redid the steering box support, welded in the new cowl, made some interior pieces and door trim, added body bracing, mated the wide5 hubs to buick drums and modified buick backing plates to fit ford spindles, the steering is mockedup and should work ok. I'm working on the softtop bows etc they are modified model 'A', I have to find a windshield before i can make the forward bow and support mechanism.
There isn't as much filler as you think, I am not good at 'mudding' so I slather it on and sand off 90% of it. The body is starting to look much better than I would have thought possible. I am starting to think I'll be able to paint it with a shiney finish, it has a ways to go but one can hope.
The tire is just one I had laying around, I plan to use the Firestone dirttack tire and it is bigger, I have to widen the wide5 wheel to make that happen.
