WOW, that looks great! There is a lot of square feet of sheet metal to work there, you are well on your way. Keep the updates coming!

Looks pretty perfect to me Ron. You are doing a fine job and very impressed with your work. They really start to look good when you get the primer on them don't they.:-X22:-X22

Thanks. For the kind words. Could have not gotten this far if it were not for some of the folks on here giving there time and talent on this forum to help and encourage all of us newbees young and old. So let me thank all to those who help us and guide us.You are all a great group of people.. By the way I still hate body work! (LOL) The real challenge for me on this project will be the rear door's. The are rotted at the bottom and one door was damaged at the belt line where the PO brazed it. Sits 3/8" off the other door at the belt line. And the hinges is another story I rather not get into yet.. any how enough. Of my rambling .. thanks again all

It really does look great, nice work so far! Good luck with the doors, and 51PanelMan may have some hinges you could buy. He has a lot of used parts.

Thanks topmoo. I have dealt with Panelman in the past nice guy to deal with. My hinges are ok (I think) there seems to be a lot of brazing around where the hinge half attaches to the back door :( probably wont get to it this till next summer.
