Should be an interesting project, but then I have a fondness towards 40 Chevy 4drs.
I had 4drs when they were the bastard children, but I loved them.
Had one good runner w/3 cars to pick parts from.
Even though it was a work in progress the wife & I were still smiling ear to ear when we had this picture taken after doing a couple of laps on the Indy 500 Track back in 92..
Years ago I sold the rear quarters w/the windows off of one of my cars to a guy who told me they fit the coupes.
Just thought I'd let you know if you didn't already know this. No reason to waste good sheetmetal....joe

Thanks guys... Love the pic with the Indy cars and I'm fond of four doors as well. All the sheet metal that came in will be going back out with them, Just in different shapes. LOL It really is amazing how fast this stuff goes as long as you spend some time to think it through a few times before actually doing it. Thank God for the lift... That saves my back and hours by not having to find help to remove the bodies. If I can keep the visitors out it should be a fairly quick turn around. We will see?Last edited by M.T.; 04-04-2014 at 10:08 AM.

9:34 Fiiday morning and all the phone calls, emails, and PM's have been answerd
I spent a few minutes earlier adding some braces to the Delivery body to insure it will be as close as possible when I go to put this puzzle back together. Im leaving every cut I make about a 1/4 inch long with the exception of the a Pillar so that I can do the final adjusting cut with the body in its final resting place. The wheel wells on the delivery are in rough shape so I will be using the wheel well on the 4 door and peeling the body away from that. And just like Nascar...
A quick prayer and Ready, Set, GOOOOOOOOOO!Last edited by M.T.; 03-21-2014 at 09:37 AM.
