As I started cutting I stoped periodicaly to remeasure not…[Read more]

here it is on the body dolly I quicly constructed to take it to the shop so I can prep the inside to fit

hahahahhaa!! it was a necessity, every spot weld was cut out and the front was seperated from the uniframe. The course in wich im taking the car made me have to do that to fit parts together and correctly weld everything. dont worry the front and fenders are put up nicely in the side shop :smt008
