This old girl is in for an adventure.

The interior has survived very well but it will be all updated. 

All the trim will be sorted, tagged and bagged until we prepare for assemble work. At that point salvage will be determined and refurbished. 

Paint removal but first we document the original car. 

Paint is stripped

Side view with paint and parts stripped. 

Body panels are removed

The car is now sand blasted and the quarter panels and roof skins are removed for repair work. 

Needed panels are not available for this car so required work to repair and rebuild will be extensive. 

Reproduction parts/panels are not available for this car so we build and or repair as needed. 

The roofskin is removed for inner repair work (lots of work). 

Rebuilding the windshield frame. 

Header bar repair.

Work continues for repairs to wheel house and roof sail panel inner structure.

Roof skin installed and replacing side piece.

Reapired roof and new drip rail fabricated and welded in place.

Both quarter panels needed extensive repair work. The rusted metal was cut out and replaced with hand fabricated patches. 

There was lots of hand fabricating to recreate needed patching for the quarter panels. 

Both sides are worked while replicating and matching the shape of each side. 

Finished welding. 

Masking for the epoxy-primer application. 

Coating finished and applied to areas (now accessable) before final welding is completed. 

Relocating the trunk hinge (as needed after the modifications of the inner wheel house). 

Upper quarter panel repairs.

Inner structure (roof support on both sides) repairs. 

Repairs to the quarter panel. 

Finished welding of upper quarter panel. 

Both doors needed extensive repairs to the inner sheet metal and outer skin. 

The repairs to the inner doors required much work. 

Outer door skin repairs. 

Outer door skin in place.

Outer door skin installed.

Assess and confirm consistant gapping.

We modified the bumper brackets so the bumper would tuck inwards to the body (modified both ends). 

The bumper tucks in nicely. 

This will be a very nice car when completed.
