    Madmath,

    Fantastic old school build! I love the old style rivets you have used. I used some large ones on my firewall and the support legs of my 32 three window coupe (see bottom right of photo) I put them in and then welded them on the backside. What kind of blind rivet did you use? Any photos. As you know rivets add so much strength and look so old school!
    Try to keep working a little on the build even if its just a few minutes here and there. It takes dedication and very hard work to make it all come together and your well on your way!!

  3. For the rivets, I used the same like you, they are welded inside the rails.
    I don't have took pictures of the inside.

    Thanks for all the comments, it gives motivation but it's not possible to continue at this time. Before I must install electricity and lights in the workshop but prior I would like to have a living room and a kitchen in the house because there are 7 months that we live in bedrooms and bathroom ;)

    But I don't despair to work a little on the rear-end this winter :)

    Looks like this could be a cool car in the works. I'm interested to see the progress.

    subscribed. I love how you're doing this. Really digging the curved front cowl/front section with the back half of the 5 window body!
