    He ended up changeing the passenger A post from the window opening down. See first pic. The old one was repairable but my good friend Jim Had on for 50.00 And was faster to replace. Second pic shows how the passenger door is almost fitted back to the opening...More to come Later JOHN

    Looking good John...glad to see it progressing. I know how kids can slow down projects. My daughter is 4 and I started on my RPU a year or two before she was born. I do hope to fire it off for the first time around New Years.

    Keep the pics coming.

    Door opening Pass side is Back to shape.Pic1. Firewall V cut so it matches the taper of the body and channel.Pic2. And finally I ran out of shielding gas to weld the structures, So He started on the wheel well fitment. He replaced and hand formed a piece of the reveal around opening cause it was pitted, and would dissapear when I finally have the body blasted.Rest of pics... THANKS JOHN

    Shiny Wideglide74,{Jason} had found it sitting in Seattle area when it finnally came up for sale he was in a realestate deal and couldnt purchase, Knew I was looking and let me have it with the promise it wasnt for resale. They had moved the car to Idaho, I meet them in portland with 10,000 cash and purchased after only seeing pics. came with all garnish.regs latches,title etc.Ive had it four years now and the build is finally back on track. I had boy girl twins that are now 3 on dec 30th so that slowed me down.....JOHN
