Great work and that is really good you were able to get the doors fitting nicely! I like fiberglass work but it's still nerv racking hoping the mixture is just right.

Well got to a point where I needed an extra pair of hands so Allan (53pop) popped over to lend a hand, I needed the body upside down to glass in the floor and its getting heavier and awkward to move around.
First job was to glass in the rear of the floor, I had had to cut the floor into 2 halves to get it in so the joint had to be fixed, while there we bonded in 2 short pieces of 1/2" square tube as strengtheners.







Next up was the front section of the floor & the sides









Next up was the cowl joint which came out real nice.







Had to alter part of the rear lower panel, I had the measurements from a stock pickup and I checked the rear panel and found out the lower cut out that fits over the frame was 1.25" to high in the panel, so I cut it out and moved it down to the correct place, the rear panel needed repairing anyway so no big deal, the pics tell the story.









This meant the last 4" of the floor needed to be angled very slightly so some more cutting was needed.







Dropped the body back on the frame for a looksee and it now fits much better so can glass up to finish it.







While the body was back on we loosely held the frontend in place for a looksee, the front is slightly high at the front by about 2 or 3" but you get the idea
