Nick definatly gets extra credit for outside in the snow, but Matt screwed up the grading curve for the rest us and our metal work LOL.

Nice work! Interesting how you replaced the rails and wheel houses, then removed the quarters. Keeps everything lined up I suppose.

Matt for the metal work and Julian for the detailing. What's that going to look like finished?

 

[detmatt]

Thanks gents!
Wait till you see what I had to do to replace the cowl and A pillars all at once.

Here Are some pics as I prepared for the removal of the cowl.

And here's what a B body looks like without a cowl or A pillars.

This was what was underneath the A pillar and what would still be there if I didn't replace the whole hinge pillar.

I have come to the point (after 60 years) that I have to let someone do any and all bodywork for me. I'm great with wrenches.....not worth a damn with sandpaper and paint!
