    I have been waiting to finally fix this drivers door. This was another patch on top of original metal all covered in Bondo, like an old roof with too many shingles.

    All better.

    The other side was way better, but still holey enough for a panel.

    The passengers side has definitely been the easy side of this little car so far.

    Alright, so that's it. The last of the structural metal work. Still some Bondo to uncover, but this is everything that makes the body solid and structurally sound.

    Next up is most likely front suspension. See ya.

  3. Just went through the thread, great metal work and skill. This poor car deserves it after the PO abused it so very badly. Following along .

    Great metal work!
    I look forward to watching the chassis come together.
    Thanks for the updates.

    Sweet. Same thing I need to do with my coupe. Will be watching along to see how you do yours.

  9. Nice work on fixing all of the poor quality old repairs. Looking forward to watching the chassis improvements and also the drivetrain choice. For obvious reason I predict a Pontiac, or second bet on an older OHV V8 like Olds or Cadillac.

    Wow! What a save! You replaced all that metal and the body probably lost weight... hahaha.

    Nice work, as always!

  12. Are my eyes deceiving me or does that car have a '33 door on one side?

    Good eye on the door deal. Yes, one door is '33, but it won't be when it is done. I have always liked the smokers window web in the door top.
