    Love the body work you've accomplished. Has it been mostly hammer and dolly work or have you been using new metal? Need more photos!

    A mixture of both.... I hammerd out as much of the original body as I could and bought / made a bunch of patches for the bottom of the car and cut some better metal out for some areas from donor junk (like the firewall, one of the front subrail extentions and part of the drivers rear section of quarterpannel what was smashed and rusted real bad.

    I made the drivers roof section and a bunch of the portions of the car that were rusted too bad that the patch pannels didn't cover it.

    I still need to grind down some of the welds and need to grind the welds on the inside of the body....... the inside of the car currently looks like a Frankenstein.there is probably 40 or so linear feet of weld!!!
