Ok, I haven't really had much time lately to work on her but here's where I'm at. I wasn't thrilled with the results on this but I don't feel there's going to ever be a problem with the way it came out. I just for some reason didn't quite have the results I wanted. The other side should be a lot better now that I know what to do. Like I've said, this is my first whack at a project like this and I'm learning as I go.
So I seem to have put these in here in reverse order but If you start with the last pic and work up, it'll make more sense.
Another after glaze and blocking.
After glaze and blocking. It came out really good.
Another shot of the void.
After all that adjusting and welding, I had a bit of a void. I measured a max depth of a little less than an 1/8 inch. I probably didn't really need to but I used fiber hair filler here before hitting it with glaze just to make sure I wouldn't have problems in the future.
All ground smooth and ready to start with the filler work. There's a small spot here that I blew through with the grinder but I welded it shut and ground it smooth again.
All welded in and ready for grinding.
I cut a strip of metal to weld in so I wouldn't have to deal with lead or the possibility of filler cracking and falling out in the future. Here it is tacked in place ready for welding.
Another shot.
I must have been sleeping when I welded this spot together 'cause my elevations weren't quite right and I didn't notice 'till now. So, here we go again with sectioning, tweaking and welding it all back together.
I can't wait to see this when it's finished 
And at the rate he is going it will be done soon!!!!! Great job 
wow,love it,i would love to see your car some day,ive got a 222665 but with 4speed,and its red.otherwise pretty similar with ac and vinyl top.hej hej hej,about the top,gatorgrain is so cool,but are you going to use red interior with it?is the gg top blackish or greenish? hmm 
I've never really done much with shrinking metal before and was really not sure how to do it especially since I couldn't get to the back side with a dolly. I tried using the stud gun for heat and then hitting it with compressed air and took most of the stretch out but it still was kind of flimsy and now had little dents all over from the stud gun. Then I figured maybe just hit it in the low spots with a bit of mig weld and air to rapid cool it. Bingo! Don't know if that's the normal way but it worked for me and made it so I could sleep that night! Just have to finish pulling the little dents out and shopuld be ready to move to the other side.
