so do you prefer to butt 2 pieces rather than work off of the old spot weld areas?-thank you,pat

 

If you are talking about where I cut the back panel out no way . I would rather spot weld the panel in like stock then have 3 feet of weld with no access to hammer it.

Welded but some rust showed it’s facewhere the panels are doubled



Same over here thin rusty and mig welds all over

inner was cracked





Only so much you can do with the double panels







Got the damage out time for a new lower edge

Flop, is that threaded for lifting or to apply pressure on the bottom piece?

 

Great work...I´m amazed.

 

Sets your body to gas tank gap .

Thanks Flop.

 

Do you have any guesses as to the history of this car, based on the amount of damage on the body? Think it was an old dirt track car or something?

 

I don’t think because the doors matched the paint on everything else and the doors were really nice . Also gonna guess they would have ditched some wood .

Maybe you have stated this earlier in the thread, but don't recall; are you finally building a 3w for yourself? Or is this for a customer?

 

allways impressive how you work, thanks for sharing .

Flop whats the purpose of the bolt on the cowl

 

Used it on both side to pull the cowl down because the feet on the inside of the cowl were missing .
