Not much work done yesterday. Sat some panels on it to check fit. Found a few more issues with the old chop job. Got to do some adjustments and cut realign and reweld the a pillars. Then start on getting rid of all of the welds on the body that were brazed. Gonna end up with about another inch chopped out of it.

Little more work on the B pillars today. Still more to go but making progress. The drivers side was a little worse than the passenger.

Well that escalated quickly. Oh well... needed to replace the wood in the postanyway. Now I can get to the rust and weld the post where the old chop was done and only brazed :o on one side. Clean up the rust and tig weld it all up..

Started cleaning up the bottom of the passenger side B pillar. Got a little bit of rust repair to do.
Always safety first, those grinding and cutting discs are bad for the lungs.

Finally getting around to getting the A model coupe put back together. Gotta start with a good foundation.
Doing a lot of googling and head scratching trying to make sure I don't mess up.
I guess all those years as a kid building model cars paid off.... lol now I'm building full size model.
