    Thanks for the encouragement everyone :D I'm sure it will piece together! I'm keeping my eye out for better quarters, if not at least they make em new. The ones with the car are savable....but maybe not for my skill level.

    I may be able to come up with a wishbone for you. I need to make a phone call.

    Heh! Congrats!

    All subrails are NOT the same because the different body styles have different door lengths. Therefore the door opening threshold in the subrail will be the length of the door. Try holding your roadster doors up to the subrails and that will be your best indication.

  10. Look at the Brightside, it's mostly complete and only takes up a quarter of the space.

    I dug this one out of a ditch last week, It's pretty crusty, but the price was right.

    Gosh, that one looks a little rougher than mine :D What are your plans for it??
     
  21. I don't know yet, the more I look at it, the more I realize that ditch might have been a good place for it. Ha ha. Oh well, I'll keep it around maybe something will come up, all it cost me was a little digging.
