I spent a lot of time on the replacement pieces getting them to fit together well
Couple bullet holes opened up & repaired, as well as another chain damaged area
Decided to round the corners while I was at it.
The double layer brace at the roof/deck lid area was rusty on both sides so I had to fab up the pieces for replacement
Cut away everything that was rusty. The quarter extensions didn't line up to the lower trunk panel very well so cut em up!
The side window was made with a simple hammerform. Then a little metal finishing, a little polishing and done. Now I need to find the correct...
