Every Hole
you can see her rear end.
No porn joke here, just some also rusty sheetmetal I’m going to start attaching tomorrow.
One shrinker and one stret cher, necessary to make pain in the ass compound curves like wheel lips. must be bolted down to something heavy to use. (bench vise not tight enough)

I see now why you are a local legend in your immediate area. This is really great stuff today.

Its going faster now that I’ve abandoned hope of doing remotely properly, having nothing to lose brings a certain creative freedom to it. That and I have my own ancient, non-valuable, shitty cars from the 60s to work on.

This is going to be incredible someday, when it's actually a car again.

I said I’d fix it, like that dumb fucking elephant from Dr Seuss, I meant what I said. I however fully regret being a man of my word.

Curious how those sills end up

Incredible is not on the menu for this project. It will be a car that is 99 % steel. I can’t actually fix this car, If it were a M iura, sure. B ut I’d re com mend a better bodyman than me if you need this sort of work on your lambo.

I understand what you're saying, but if you can get the car to 99% metal and looking decent, that will be an incredible accomplishment.

I’m going to slice them right where it drops off under the doors. I’ll add some steel to the bottom of the inner rocker and cut off the excess after I plug weld the bottom of rocker. I have a complete inner and outer rocker but ideally you’d do that before you replaced the floor. I’ve already done some of this car twice, so I’m gonna work with what’s left to preserve my sanity. I can’t do it all the way into the doorjamb because the car already has a slight sag to it and doing the right thing might make the doors not close.

99% steel... so there's still room for 20-30 lbs of rust, right? :P

Gotta leave room for a skim of bondo over the whole thing.

Even an old barn looks better with a coat of paint.
