Default Re: 70 Chevelle Convertible Resto

Few more pics. Dealing with some rot at the bottom of the door hinge posts. I'm working on fabricating pieces to weld in. This is a very difficult area to reach with cutting tools so it's taking me a little longer than I figured. I'd really rather have a clean parts car to chop this stuff out of but I'll make due with what I have. I also ordered what I hope is the rest of the metal pieces I need which include Inner & Outer cowl boxes for both sides, rear seat divider, windshield frame bridge, front floor sections, and a CI hood from AMD. I really should put a cowl and firewall in this thing too but I don't want to mess with the VIN tag or have the partial VIN stampings missing off the firewall.

Fixed it today [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] I still have some grinding of welds and trimming to do and 1 small piece to weld in, then the floor can go in.

I was wondering when you would start attaching metal to the car!
