day 15!: been back at work so the going is slow. the roof framework is totally finished now so i can concentrate on the roof skin. this will be a big job, mainly the measuring out and marking. the old tradesmen always say "measure it 3times and cut it once." i`ll be taking my time. it`ll b...

mowog, use gas with your mig, it`s the only way to get a decent result , if you must go gasless, then make sure that the steel to be welded is free of any paint or dirt of any kind, also to prevent distortion, tack things together first then remove the majority of the tack before you weld up fully. ...

yes, got pics, but it`ll be a while till i get them up may need to email them to someone to do that for me,(brayden?) its (or) will be quite similar to the yellow car, seen that before but the roof so far is more angular or notched at the back, less sloping maybe more "agressive" looking. ...

day 1: yesterday. first of all remove f+r windows. the doors and windscreen are not going to be modified for this chop only the roof skin itself. i`ll also have to modify the cant rail on both sides to allow for the new roof skin and extended roof . the rear window panel has been removed to just bel...
