Lotsa work Panel but when done this way there better most the time then factory let them go.

Nice looking shop . seems to be enough room so you can stay busy there.

Thanks Brick, just hoping it meets Tom's expectations when finished.... He'll probably even get a gold star for hiring the handicapped!!!!!!!

Who's handicapped?
Not sure if I showed you guys how I "Handicapped" myself a few years ago using a automatic nailer, but here it is anyway :

Got to watch out for those darn nails. I had a similar incident. Really it wasnt my fault....it was the nails fault! I was trying to nail blandex to the ceiling in my garage when I was building my house. Two taps to set the nail, and swing. Nail comes straight back into my eye. It lacerated and lifted the retina...all I saw was instant white light in that eye. Now I'm scared of nails. Now I always wear eye protection.

Kinda puts a different twist on the term "fingernail" doesn't it?

It wasn't my fault......
I was in the process of nailing the outside plates for a cabin where two ends butt up against each other (twisted and not touching) and I pulled them together, thought I'd put a nail in to keep them lined up, my left hand pulling the bent one in place, when I thought....... this is TOO dangerous, so I pulled back and the nailer malfuntioned and shot me anyway........ guess I should have done the dangerous thing and shot the boards instead of my fingers
Picture shows the corner of the boards right before I (red hat) went around to the other side and shot myself. Nice rusty nail
The nail went through two fingers and hit the third hard enough to make me loose that fingernail.

hmmmmm. don't think it's recommended to use your fingers as a cushion between the wood and the nail, Tom!!!!! That one had to hurt a BUNCH!!!!!!

Welcome back! Looks like you're going to have a very nice Cuda when you get it done, keep us updated on the progress!

looks like fun panelbeater i like to still hang metal i did lot of this on new cars getting good steel must be hard .i did the trunk pan in my gto and the trunk tin was much thinner then oem .Cuda looks good

O-U-ch. That had to hurt.

I thought I'd push the "Z" outside since it's a fairly decent day to give the shop a quick clean-up. I couldn't leave it out there without takin' a few pics.

thanks this was by far the most rusted up car i've ever done, yes parts are a huge challange (pricey too)

Panel work with a guy into mopars his latest find was a plum 70 Superbee 4spd car . He also has a few Cuda's and others alot of parts cars but a couple rarer ones .

sounds like he's sitting on a gold mine. had some beer and strippers over today for outside paint removel. couldn't handle any more media blasting (big ol mess)

Beer and strippers mm i'd sanded a bit for that LOL.
