thanks 30hupp!! 

thanks durrant! you are right about the body shops now a days seems like most cave and pave and dont fix the metal.

thanks dictator. alot of patience and knowing why the metal is doing what its doing and alot of knowing when to walk away when you are frustrated and starting again in the morning. you really cant rush welding 

thanks bleach!! i taught myself mig when i was around 15 and got into tig about a year and a half ago .but what an amazing weld tig is on sheetmetal compared to the mig .

thanks corvanti i appreciate the link!!

heres the last of the body 

just about finished up with the body today besides bending the edges over the subframe on the new patches.

the passenger quarter was the last piece.

really solid but the break where it wrapped under neath was gone

made a new piece for it

couldnt figure out how to make it in one long piece so 2 pieces it was

just about done except for the edge it still needs some more smoothing where it wraps into the wheel well

and we are just about done with the body!!

heres the dash 

extra holes in the dash that gotta disappear
