Hot Rods Quick AV8 Coupe update

are you using road signs for patches? like the trunk lid

 

Yes. The decklid is aluminum. The brace I bent up is steel.

 

I knew YOU would appreciate that!

 

Welded up some erroneous holes in the firewall last night.

 

I thought about calling it a night, but popped in some motivational music into the cd player and worked on the body inner structure. Moved my overhead bar forward to line up with the B pillar.

You are kicking some****!!

 

You do that voo-doo double-patch work like a PRO!!!

You go 2-patch!!!

 

Glad to see you are making headway Hoss.

Mad Fabri-raver

 

dude- Depeche Mode didn't even form until 1980!!!

Less than 8 weeks until the HAMB-B-Q....

YIKES


Nice Progress Jay!!!

It's not "squish through" either.

Pebble Beach- here I come....

 

smooth inside and out...

 

Here I filled in the gap between the inner fender and the subframe:

 

all you need now are tank tracks and olive drab paint!

:-D

 

Jay rules................

 

Work looks sweet

 

I have some primer left over from the 47, DRD57 always said that it was PINK, you can have it if you want it.

Pink? I think maybe a contrasting color might be better since the flatty is "pink" already. Like a chartruse or a turquoise.

 

Filled in the gap underneath the cowl sides:






I dropped the pattern for the windshield off at Napa at 7am. The new windshield should be ready Friday.
