I can't get over how nice the cowl vent piece came out. That is a pain in the ass piece to build, let alone to build right. Nice work, -Abone.
Thanks, it took me a while, but very satisfying to get it installed. Wish I had done one on the roadster last year. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Got the driver gaps pretty good, the passenger is going to need some extra attention. It obviously popped open at some point and the hinge pillar is pretty shabby. I’m going to do the whole skin on it and sort out the hinge pillar when I have it open. The driver I think I can get away with redoing both outer and inner lower patches.

Installed the new wheel well on the driver side. I also ordered a door skin for the passenger side. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Looking back over some pictures, here is the car when I first got it Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

I'm another "attaboy" on that cowl vent, and all the rest is nice work also! Can't wait to see what you find in the pass door, I have a driver side sprung a little I need to fix. Sent from my SM-G973U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Finished up the passenger quarter panel. I have my quarantine beard. There are two dimples in the quarter panel brace on the passenger side to mount the tool box. I pressed them using a stack of washers and a piece of oak with a hole cut in it. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Thanks, I have part of one that came with my roadster rear clip...I may hit you up for a couple measurements when I make one. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
that dont look like much to go on for a tool box, i have an original in good shape, i'll post it for all to see
Started working on the drivers door...I’ve been dreading it. The old repairs were done by simply forming sheetmetal over the rusted metal and brazing it in place. There was a good 1/4 inch of bondo over that, that was removed with media blasting. I got everything fit and made the bottom 5 inches of the hinge pillar.

Got the new metal welded. I’ll have to come back and lead the seam later Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Worked on fitting the deck lid...initially it wouldn’t fit and since the panel below the deck lid it the only reproduction part, I started there. The panel measured a full 1/4 inch taller than the original...uff. I was able to unfold the top edge and then fold it 1/4 inch lower. I still have to adjust the mounting on the left side to line up the body line. I also need to make some adjustments on the right side... Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Worked on the panel below the decklid today. Before I got into it I installed the decklid support. On the left side I raised the panel about 1/4 inch by cutting the mounting pad off and moving it down. On both sides the body line didn’t line up with the quarter panel. I pie cut horizontally at the bottom of the line and then again vertically from the bottom to relieve the metal. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
After lunch I started on the other panels for the trunk. The original support panel has not been media blasted...I’m getting spoiled. I removed it from the below the deck lid panel. I think I will just clean up the nibbled out holes since I will need the access for tail lights
that looks like most of the firewalls i've had that some one installed a heater by drilling a bunch of holes and beating the center out with a chisel ! good work as usual, thanks for posting
