For awhile, nothings a keeper for me, everythings for sale...sometimes I'm just not real flexible on the price of stuff....but it's for sale! Thanks for the comments, sure am having fun putting this one together and looking forward to making a few passes in the car and doing some shows....

Dave, here is a pic. of the hood I was talking about. I don't think he used the ''Audi technique'' on this though.

looks like pre 66 gm A body trunk lid??

That could be. All he said was a 60's era deck lid.

Dave the work looks great......I always enjoy watching a master at work.

Got a question on your big move to Texas. How much of your stuff are you going to be taking and how many Semi loads do you figure it will take

Very nice deck lid!!! Went to all the trouble to build the inner structure and everything!!! Wouldn't even want to think about the amount of hours it took!

He estimated about 200 hours, mostly on the inner structure I would imagine.

It's on
metalmeet.com. He only posted the finished product. I would have liked to see the build process too. But, there are a bunch of guys on there that document some pretty amazing work step by step. Anything from patch panels to complete bodies.

THANKS .i made many patch panels can you say RUST BELT BABBY wish i took photos and some very very bent up steel that i metal finish.one comes to mind a guy used his 36 ford to re work the front of his cinder block shopi really wanted to move up to the next level to see if i had the right stuff and build bodies parts . but my arms fell off . back 15 years ago i could work on metal all day and did... i loved it

???? hmmmm

Nothing really exciting today...Plugging some of the extra holes in the framerails, got a bit of grinding left to do, then I'll clean up and put up some new pics. Shot a bit of primer on some of the new metal for the floor and called it a day!

I think i was you in the beginning when I came in that said , any work is headway no matter the amount . Small plugs here and there get you to the end .

Guess I did tell you that once Bobby! The frame is on it's way to the sandblaster today, should be able to get some more time in on the body now. Also have a customer's car to get back to work on and maybe finally get my pickup finished!
