Sorry for the picture sizes Im not one with the computer. I have done alot more than this but Ive only got these photos. I have the pan blasted at my home garage and the shell sit at my workplace. Its a good deal no rent and an air compressor.

 I smothed out the dash shaved the tail lights and signal light who needs lights anyway. Ive got replacement doors and soon the shell will have to be finished. The rear end was fairly damaged so I cut it out and scabed in a new piece. Also changed the rear clip. Its is my first atempt at welding or builing a car.

looks like someone else has there hands full as well.
the way your heading the car will be a clean well assembled car for sure.
it's nice too see some people putting in there own small touches here and there instead of doing a complete stock looking shell.
keep it up .
check back under primerd chop for a replie relating too you post,i think you will be happy.
