Such pretty looking work...wow. I'd never have the patience.

Dumb Question:
What is your approach to sealing the tubs to the quarters?

No. They need some flex.

All right, thank you. Been studying how many are done in case I ever decided to go to the stock rails. I've never seen any that were attached, but never knew why/why not.

They will dimple the quarter, no way to weld to the inside of the quarter without chassis flex showing in the body work no matter how stiff the car is. Big reason I split factory tubs and widened them on mine.

My mistake. Yes, this is what needs to be used. Inhaled too many paint fumes lately.

I had some art work done for the car, and this will be a banner to hang on my garage wall.

Work on this project is slow at best. body work is such tedious work, and it never seems like you get anywhere, even after working many hours on it. I'd much rather do fab work.

Trying to finish up some small projects on the car since it's winter. Here is the speedometer cluster, and radio for the car. I sacrificed a cluster, and only used the face of the gauges, and glued the needles in place. Same with the radio. This will give the car a non gutted look, but weigh less than stock parts.

I'm actually running out of small winter projects...

Dash mocked up. This entire assembly is about 20lbs lighter than my all stock 69 dash.

You should have at least glued the speedo needle at 120.
Seriously, looks great.
20 pounds is impressive.
