I have been moving forward on this one….  I’ve been doing  about 2 hours a day on it. 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫.
Another box of green metal came in!!! 😎😎😎😎😎

I have been dissecting the front.  It’s a bitch to get that inner valance off with the headlight bucket support still in there.   I’m thinking about not cutting out the headlight bucket support.   Or the whole floor.. it’s just not that bad🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I need to take some pics🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎

I’ve got it dissected to the frame and headlightbucket support.  Both solid.  Looking like I should stop cutting here..  Do the lower A’s inner outer valance and just a lower nose skin for this one!!!
im gonna try and get this dog leg dissected for new ones!!!

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎

This is AWESOME!!!! It’s Soooooo close to right!!👍👍 John’s picky eyeball will find a way to make it better for sure but I bet he is gonna tap some corners to get it just right them then put in some welds to seal the deal on “The Box!!!
