SCROLL DOWN FOR THE PROGRESS INFORMATION

First impressions can be deceiving! see pictures below 

This initial tear down gave me an idea of what I had to work with,

How it starts…. You see this old car and imagine yourself driving around. So you stop and ask if it’s for sale,.. and they say yes!!!!! That’s when the fun starts!!!!!!!

Inner wheel well repair

Rear corner body repair

Passenger side kick panel fabrication.

Patching the right rear fender

These are pictures of my repair on one of my rear
doors..SUPER THIN metal!!!!! Hard to weld!!! This one door I had to do three
times!!! And that’s just the metal work, I still had to do the wood work,,,door
latches, door handles, window tracks, etc…

Top Chop Pictures - Last two pictures are after & before

Pictures of Drivers Side rear Fender Repair

Pictures os the interior wood replacement, there was not one piece of wood that was not rotted

The original door handles were bad so I had to replace them. Went to a local parts store and got O.E. Door handles and got door latches called Bear Claws and just redid everything!! The challenge was to make room for the window to slide down and clear the door rods,so I used a hinge at the bottom!! Works!!!!!

This is the 265 CI Chevy engine was was in the car and while sitting on the ground it actually rusted out the oil pan!
