Nice job there Pugsy. Lookin good.

Looking good. I always have a toss up which side is harder…the first or the second!?

The first you are thinking, figuring it out, patterns, etc.

The second…you’ve supposedly got it figured out, but it also has to match the first side identically!

I don't have that problem. If my eye can't see the difference, I don't think anyone else can. Also, post pictures of opposite sides many weeks apart helps, ha.....


I get them close and then check if they flow, or is it loft, properly with my plastic yardstick.

Back half started. A lot of weld lumps showing on the patch across the window. Clean up and more planishing will happen after I get it on the rotisserie. Just can't twist my arm in there.

Thanks Steve.
Progress yes, but not as good as it should be. Perhaps I'll touch it up before slathering it with filler, but I know me, probably not.


Driver side was same as the passenger side but a lot of over stretch leading to some serious shrinking.

This project was tough to do without a buck. Every panel needed reshaping on the car after welding.

I tried to have something to check the shape with after making the last panel. Of course, that didn't help either.
