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..

Thanks for the kind words lamin8r.

This deck lid is becoming a long project.
I'm still busy tapping away.
Once I get to the top of the repair, I may go bact to the bottom and start tapping away all over again to get out all the imperfections.
This is a good opportunity to really learn some slapper and dolly skills.

I got the deck lid skin pretty much done.
I found a few dings to work out after I sprayed the inside with epoxy.







I then had to move to the inner panel.
There was bondo hiding some holes as well and the whole lower edge had rotted out.

That nasty old deck lid came out super, Pugs!!!! Some really nice pingin' and dingin'!!!!

Thanks Dave.

I found a self inflicted ding in it after I hit it with epoxy....DOH.
So a little more pinging and dinging is in the near future.

Thought I was the only one that did that, Pugs.----got a bit of repair to do on the back of the Plymouth now--and it's all painted!!!

I guess mine's small potatos now.
I only have the inside epoxied.
I feel your pain. Ouch.....

very nice metal work there pugsy i have been beating on metal for 36 years and i wish i had the time to do what your doing .i was going to start making alum parts for my goat. pick up the plains to make a wheel .just to many engines to machine and build .at one time i could beat/ slap file on body metal all day and night . l was happy with that like i was in my right mind and i did that till my arms started to fall off me

Exceptional job, Pugsy. Between you, Pat, Dave, and Pro Z (plus several others) I've learned more here in the last five years than I have in in the 20 before that. You guys do some amazing work and it's a pleasure to watch.

Ditto above comments, nice work!

Thanks Guys.

Its not perfect but a little filler is allowed.
