didnt see any pm to you 31vicky that wasnt read and replied to . thanks 117 . not that exciting i promise thanks rat no defect. I made templates of both door and did a million measurements . the body was not welded together correctly . dtracy got the 32 back from Steele Kustoms and what a great job they did on the pull !! Slices eveywhere but we have everything where it should be . pillar was pulled over 3/8ths of an inch ! result of making everything fit another small mess came out . the bottom of the pillar/cowl /windshield area is now needing some love now to repair all the cuts ,address gaps on the door and trunk then finally getting to the reason i got this car in the first place ..chop it .
Hey Flop, I've been following this build, as I do all your builds, and I am amazed by your obsession with perfection. You truly are a "craftsman". I am so glad to be able to see your work through your words and great pictures. Thanks, Tim
Beautiful work!!! Certainly wish I knew the techniques utilized to accomplish such a transformation. One word... SUBSCRIBED!!!
The term DA(ing) is used throughout the thread. Would someone please explain this term for me? Thanks
Just found this thread, and read all posts before I could stop! Flop, your skills are unbelievable. I'm 77 yrs. old and have been a gearhead since about 13 or 14, and I've never seen metal work of this quality. I have an "A" roadster that came assembled from Brookville, and it was nowhere near as rough and out of whack as that body. I'm relieved to hear that it was not assembled by Brookville. Initially, till you divulged that assembly was done elsewhere, I was grieving over Brookville allowing such work to leave their facility. Mine had a wave or two, but nothing like this, and I'm sorry it came to you like that, but glad Brookville hasn't sunk that low.
I have been waiting for this to happen.....Go for it... Time for a hair cut! MY self I wish you were not filling the top as I like the original way.
