Had to make sure that things were headed in the right direction so we added fenders and hood to sure we were on the right track. Coming together nicely! All in a days work!

Super excited things are coming together so well!

Looking good !
Thanks for the pics !

Nope! This is the first go! Been scared of it for sometime now. Had to pop our cherry but couldn't have asked for things to go better. Have seen many ppl tackle this before but never had the nerve! A good donor surely helps!

Your doing a great job! Especially for first time!
I love seeing one brought back from a "basket case". You here the phrase "great save" all the time but to me when ones brought back from what most people consider a goner then that's what I call a "GREAT SAVE!"...

GREAT JOB!!!!
Keep going it's gonna be well worth it :-)

Thanks! We're excited about it too! It seems to be going fairly well. We hope to have it back on the road some what soon. I already have the running and driving donor waiting to be tore down after we get all the repairs and body work done.

I just wanted to post up our progress from yesterday. I was going to work out the dents in the cowl (guessing hood came up) but it was pretty well mangled and we had a perfectly good one our donor car so off they came.

After getting everything mocked up and checking fitment of all the new parts we went ahead and started tacking welds. Also set door to check the body lines. Looks like things are lining up rather nicely!

Oh and couldn't forget about the spot light

Very nice work!! Love to see a car like this being brought back. We've got to save as many of these as possible while we still can!
