Here’s the latest: Sandblasted roof structure and prep’d for epoxy primer. Fit roof skin and prep’d for welding. Couldn’t do it without support from the team!

I bit the bullet and decided to replace the roof skin to aid in gutter replacement. Roof skin and top gutters removed today.

Prep work is time consuming but worth the effort in the end. This all looks very familiar to many of us who've saved these cars from the scrap heap! Good job and keep going! The end product will be very satisfying! Ruffcut
Final fit. Let the welding begin.

Here’s the right quarter panel, Dutchman panel, cross member and trunk floor fitted for alignment and gap checks. Patience is a virtue! It’s sad that it’ll all come apart tomorrow for final prep then welding / spot welding.
