Hi All
After finishing my rotisserie I am finally getting back to actual car work (started in 03). I am redoing what I did in the past (made a mess of it) and hopefully moving on from there. Doug has is helping me with the restoration, so hopefully we can make some actual progress. The entire passenger side of my car is pretty rotten so we have our work cut out for us. I got the good part of the long cut out so when Doug gets here maybe we can start filling in the gaps. In this pic I have cut out the outside long bit. 10/1/15: Joined in the build off challenge!
