This week I have started with the chassis.

I raised the gearbox four inches.



Left heater channel and quarter section finally finished.
A thick layer of old body filler  Huh

Bad fit.......

It has been changed once before so it was a bit more welding.


Update,the body has become a single skin and I have started with the rear wheel arches.....

Cool.
What colour are going with? I was thinking Chesnutt brown or Texas (oboj) brown for it with 3,5", 10" ERCOs. That's the way I'm going with my 57 Ghia....
