    WOW! I know the owner is REAL happy about this repair. The fact that you replaced the bottoms and they fit and aligned without having the body in your shop it really amazing.

    That a good point. Unless I could do video's that would be kinda tough for me. I try not to give any kind of advice on here to avoid drama. I can teach but not very well from my computer. for people like me that kinda learning only happens in the shop However Im going to give it a try but heres the thing. I dont claim that my way is the best. and i dont claim that is the only way its just what works for me. give me a couple days... Im taking it that you want to learn how weld the sheet metal and finish it? or pannel fit or construction, you gotta tell me what you want to know so I know what to pay attention too when i am takin pics. Ill also post on metalmeet.com which is a much more valuble source than I ever could be to you. the reason being that there are so many DIFFERENT ways. the reason why thats so good is because then you can choose what way to do it because its all about what works for YOU

    I'd just like to see some action shots. I build everything by hand caveman style so it's nice too see some professional work with the right tools and skills. I've done my rockers, floors, chop, fender patch panels, etc all in my driveway and carport "shop" using mostly homemade tools and "stuff" laying around to beat/bend on. :D
