    No Gary it is not pinched, yes it will get flat at the firewall and be slightly channeled over the frame at the front, the rear sub rails I will make out of 1/8" plate and 2"X1" tubing, it has worked out best for me when doing these

  10. Great build keep the updates coming. Is that a 30-31 2 door sedan back panel hanging in the rafters? If so do you want to sell it? I need a back panel for a sedan that I have.

    Nice work! I am always impressed with the quality and detail of metalwork that I see on this site, as well as the shared knowledge of various build techniques.

  28. REALLY LIKE YOUR FLOOR WORK....WISH I HAD THAT MUCH SKILL TO MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR MY 3 WINDOW.
    MAY I ASK WHERE YOU BOUGHT THE GREEN ADJUSTABLE JACKSTANDS WITH THE ROLLERS ON THE TOP OF THEM?

    I think the adjustable jackstands are greenlee, they make tools for the electrical trade, the stands can be used for rolling out large spools of wire....stick a pipe through the spool, set it on the stands and start pullin!......VERRY NICE WORK DIRTY!
