Big work Fella, I can see the time involved, been there done that LOL.
Do I see a MK1 Granada Ghia tucked away there?, if so, how the hell did you end up with that LOL.
Sort after car over here again after falling out of fashion, big money now.
Great thread.

That's not my car, that's at the body shop and belongs to the body man.

Your body man has Incredible skills, this is going to be far far better than any autoplant could ever have achieved even on their best days, probably far better than the cars prepared for auto shows.

This will be a museum quality restoration when you’re done.

I love the work. You’ve turned me into a voyeur....

Keep up the incredible work.

Left side of the quarter panel next to the dutchman panel is done. Amazing work once again.

And the Roof is now dent free. And that's important because I'm not going to put a vinyl roof back on the car.
And because of that, the holes for the vinyl roof trim is now gone as well.

That's going to be a 100% filler free car.

Yeah we're taking about the same color I'm just not an expert on the different shades, in the end it'll be dunkel lila

Friend of mine has a 66 Bonneville in that color, looks amazing

I've finally cut the speaker holes in my dash. I sacrificed the crushed dashboard from my donor Imp to find the exact position.
