    What I really like about your build pix, is seeing how much time and effort you have put into making this a truly great ride. You have done a terrific job with everything, not missing any detail. I know this from the pix plus you're using the same wire ties that I have. That's a sign of pure class.

    Looks great, keep posting those pix.

    Thanks guys. This is my first rod. I've built race cars before. Helped build a few complete rods. I've even done several upholstery jobs. I'm trying to do as good a job as I've done for others.

    Looking really good, a lot of attention to detail.

    i'm in the process of doing a 47 sedan delivery, would you have any pic's of when you were doing the rocker boxes and floors ?

    No pics of of floor repair cause there was none to do. The bottom of one rocker box got replaced behind the door on passenger side. We used a prefab piece dad had left over from his 40 model rocker repair panels. Bead rolled it to match the other side. It was a good fit without much modification.

    Looks good!
    Did you buy an insulation package for the roof, floor, and firewall or did you just buy the material separately
