I’ve gotten a few pieces from them that are really nice. I’m not sure how much lowlight stuff they have though. My highlights are from the 70s!

Get it done! You had the flat dividers welded in before you ever had the replacement parts to fit everything together. Wire harness tube just appears from out of nowhere. You make it look soo easy!

JJ is a magician. He was still kick as on this rig when I left the shop at 1030 tonight.

I worked the inner structure along the pass side a couple weeks ago while cutting out the junk stuff and waiting on metal to arrive. I should up date more often. Sorry Juan.

Few pics. Pass Lower a-pillar carnage.

Bunch of fiber glass was jamed up into the apillar/rocker area.

Fabbed up inner patch.

Next layer fabbed. Forgot a pic of the wire tube.

Small patch in engine bay. 

Pulled a bunch of ghetto repairs out of the drivers door. Door has some prev damage. Thats metal rod, shop rags, and fiber glass.

Pass headlong bucket was fiber glassed in also. 

More to come tomorrow.

We will build it if it comes.

More good stuff Juan…. I got the rocker all ground..  and the rear 1/4 lower panel fit and welded and ground and front panel in place… You can see the front side where I gotta add for the low light…  Looking good..
