Sorry Rick.
I was curious about the thread and was waiting for a phone call so I decided to help out.
Jules

Thanks guys, much better.

Work has been keeping me very busy, but I have started to find some time here and there to work on the "DOG". Fixed a thin spot on the firewall with a patch and got some extra holes filled on the passenger inner fender before installing it. Getting some paint mixed up to paint the top of the lower cowl before I install the upper cowl.

Picked up a front disc brake conversion kit by "Right Stuff" and will be placing an order with PST for the front end rebuild kit. Also getting everything together for my rear end and about to have my steering column restored.

Got the top of the lower cowl painted and used panel bonding adhesive to install the upper cowl. The adhesive will create a perfect seal for that plenum and now when you look down through the vents in front of the windshield you will see a nice finish rather than just whatever overspray managed to make it down there.

Upper cowl installed!

Installed the driver side inner fender apron and prepped the interior floorpan and rear footwell pans for installation.

Front floor pan and rear footwell pans installed.

Cut the hole in the floor and installed the hump.

Been a while since I posted, got very busy with work this fall and into winter, then the holidays, glad thats over! Now back to work on the "DOG". Getting ready to weld the quarters on and for that matter finish the final assembly before paint.

Once I get all the bolt on panels back on and the quarters firmly screwed back into place so that all of my body lines and panel gaps are the way they should be, I can finally weld the rest of it together for good.

Another pic.

Cars looking great. Nice job on it so far. Going to be a nice ride when done.

You aren't shy around the metal .....
Thats a very awesome job...

These quarters are proving to be difficult to get right. I can't really say anything bad about AMD because I bought these panels as scratch and dents and got a really nice deal on them but I'm thinking they may have been a little more tweeked out of shape then they appeared to be. The passenger side c-pillar is warped out of shape and is creating a kind of dogleg line next to the rear glass and as a result that lower rear window corner isn't lining up with the package tray corner. On the drivers side the wheel opening isn't lining up with the outer wheelhouse, it appears as though the wheelhouse needs to move 3/8's of an inch to the rear but I am certain that the discrepancy lies on the quarter. Anyway I will continue to play with it until I'm satisfied before I weld it all up for good. Got the trunklid and the tail light extensions back on in order to get proper fitment and also set the back glass in to see how it fit with the new quarters.

Looking more and more like a car, I only wish I was welding instead of screwing at this point, as it pertains to the car of course.

More....

One more for now.

I haven't been in the Resto forum for about a year, I'm glad I stumbled over here. Great job!!!
