Anyone have some really good interior shots of your way of doing this? I've got a 32 Poncho and I need to get started on this. Next weekend I'll lug my lincoln up with some small (1/2") square tube so I can pull the doors and start squaring/bracing up the body. Wondering where you start from there? I'd ***ume the cowl area would be the best place to start as that will keep itself relatively shapely compared to the rest of the coupe? Thanks in advance!
There is a lot of pictures on (29 chevy full sheet metal kit car) thread. But bring your reading gl***es. Here are a few of my 28 chevy. I used 3/4 inch tubing...ghost
I am going to start on my 27 lasalle replacing the wood with metal as soon as this #$@ snow melts why bump up to 1" steel?
I found in some areas, it might be easier to fabricate supports from flat stock, basically making your own shaped tubing. In doing this you end up with a support that fits the contours of the body better. About half way down the page of the link below you will see how I replaced the wood with steel where the door mounts on my coupe. http://www.nostalgic-products.com/3wchop.htm At first I started with square tubing, and decided that I wouldn't get results I was hoping for. Best of luck with your project.
