I was ready to hang the left door but at the bottom rear I previously had trimmed it to clear the apron and only had one tack on it. So before it goes back on-![]() ![]() ![]() Flip! ![]() ![]() Thats ready to hang now. While that cooled, I was putting the left fender on and messing with trunk gaps. Quarters and window and tail panels are tacked together, roof support frame is sitting in place. I can tell whoever designed this kit that I'm slapping together must have put some thought into it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

![]() ![]() Did that planishing- ![]() This wasn't quite enough sealer, we'll have to get a nozzle to it from the inside for the rest- ![]() Its on- ![]() And its "on"- ![]() Like Donkey Kong. ![]() ![]() Almost forgot the roof skin reinf framework but its over there now, with other please epoxy stuffs. Yonder is the Cat with a couple new things to gawk at. Tank top sits 3" above the floor pan. For the record, I offered to build it 3" higher but no he wants a Pinto. It just barely sticks down past the frame. ![]() ![]() |

Obviously, I have done no post-welding planishing. That right side needs some at top. Left quarter and back window panel were the only things that got epoxy yesterday. We were short on catalyst. I tried again with fresh patience yesterday, to get Mike to bring out components he wishes to locate in the firewall area... safe to say that will never happen. So I need to halffass the cowl bad enough that it won't hurt my feels when the firewall gets cut out. ![]() Taking the quickest path to roof. |

![]() ![]() It is fun going together for good. As long as I didn't leave myself messes that I forgot about, this should go smooth. At least right up until the roof insert. ![]() ![]() |
