I haven't been out to the garage in over a week. I hope I can get some heat in there soon and finish up the passenger side. Aryan came out to watch me put the new body lines in the car.

I used round stock to give me an idea where I wanted the body line to be.

I was really moving on getting the body line welded up. I stepped back and looked at it and thought man that looks funny for some reason?? Oh well. I keep welding. I stepped back again and looked. Something is not right. I followed the wrong line when I put the rod on. The line I followed was where the top of the metal would lay. NOT WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSE TO GO!!! :cry:
Cutting it off is a lot harder than putting it on. pale

That's better!

I ran out of metal but Big Dog came to the rescue with a newer door off of a Ford truck. I few snipps and I had some tin to work with. I think he just wanted me to put something Ford in it.?.?.? Very Happy

I have a slew of very small jobs to do and no garage to do them in. I'm going to take the 52 back out to the property and cover it up till it gets a little warmer. With bare metal showing I needed to cover it so Corey sanded the dirt off and primed 80% of the car. Primer looks a little on the too reduced side but it will do for now.
We also tossed in a battery and a little gas and started it up. She still idles sweet Smile
