Hot Rods On the horns of a dilemma

Add me to the list of guys saying that body is a honey, certainly better than my own '26 roadster to start with, it has all of it's subrails yet!

I'm with @gene-koning on this one. If you're confident you can do everything except the body work, then do everything else first. Practice your sheetmetal welding in the meantime and when you've got a whole ch***is and drivetrain figured out, you can tear into that body.

Panel bonder is great for putting a roof skin on a Kia but if you glue panels to the back side of holes and fill them in, they're going to shadow out, I don't care how you do it.

I just got done peeling a bunch of this **** out of my latest project car and welding it up properly. It's always easier to fix it right the first time, than to have to dig it all out and redo it later.
