But yours are under the car---
Those pics were taken by a art major doing phtog course and wanted to do some auto work---

DOH!

Sometimes I really sleep........zzzzzzzz..........

I decided to stiffen up the front panel and also eliminate some of the access metal to get some relief in the panel.

I made up a trim ring for the grill cutout.











I got it tacked in place........









And some welding, dinging and smoothing.... not perfect but getting there.







Thanks for looking,

pugsy the work is looking really good .

Thanks Bobby.

It was a little scary for a bit there but it should work out fine.

This is a great build to watch! I love the mods, and your metal working skills are great. Nice transformation on the front!

Damn fine work there.
Loving this thread.

Yeah Pugsy the more I look at it , you could not have made a better choice on the grille , and the work is top notch . Watching this car and many others here

Thanks Guys.

May be a while before I get more done.
I'm going to a metal shaping gathering next week in New York State.

I've got to get something prepared to take with me to work on during the meet.

I went down to Dutch Comstock's metal shaping meet and took my decklid with me.
I had to disassemble it to take out some dents.

I found a full skim coat of bondo under the primer and some rot along the bottom edge.

I made up a patch panel and got it tacked in place.














There were some pin holes in the trunk handle area and I needed to fill all the holes anyways so I wheeled up a large patch for that area and got it tacked in.....

Looking good, I envy your patience and talent.

Thanks Jack.

The fella I bought the car from had the same request.
I told him to hang in there so I could take him for a drive when its done.
You do the same.

wow amazing build, i hope one day i have something even close to those kind of metal working skills.

Thanks AZ40.

You can always learn by going to a metal shaping meet somewhere.
There are two good websites for this if you're interested.

A few more pics on the welding and slapper dolly work.....














Thanks,

Thats nice work..I do a bit of steel work,but only on our own cars now..Never was that good at it,but I get by with a little filler..Your skills are good,so is your coupe..
