Rolled the panel out today

I was cleaning my shop today and rolled my panel out in the sunlight for the first time in a couple of years. I'm really close to getting it in paint and on the road, maybe this will be the year

looks nice and solid. And the engine looks freshly painted. Did you weld up the seam above the wind shield?

I've done quite a bit of repair to get it to this point, here's the rear quarter after I cut the damage out.

and the floorboards

also had to rebuild one of the rear door hinges.
I bought the engine from a neighbor who had had it rebuilt. Everything else is still pretty much stock on the body.

Looking good. It's a long trip but worth it the first time someone gives you a thumbs up.
