Yes, you nailed me: I was caught staring at this by my darling bride......she is perhaps more concerned than if I was at one of those 'other' sites...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Currently measuring and checking. Gotta get a complete picture of what needs to move where to plan all the moves in the appropriate order. Pushing/pulling can have compounding effects that need to be accounted for. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

This is the part of Body Work that fascinates me. Don't get me wrong. I am not a body man but knowing how one fix effects other areas impresses me. I remember Rick writing about this awhile back and thinking of all the experience one must have I order to do body work in the correct sequence. Experience is everything it is cracked up to be..

So here's the big-picture plan for this project.

Phase 1: Aligning Structural Points
This was already completed by the crew at Yeoman Auto Body during this car's first session on the Celette bench. My fixtures agree with their work, which is great to see and further confirms the accuracy of my fixtures since Andy's car was aligned using the old fixtures -- the ones that were actually right.

Phase 2: Aligning Non-Structural Points
This phase is all about jigs. The windshield hoop on this car was shoved out of alignment by the roof during the crash. So as the car sits now, the suspension/engine mounts are all in the right place, but there are still bends and stresses bound in the surrounding metal. Before cutting anything apart, and while the chassis fixtures are all in place, the door/windshield/hood openings all need to be confirmed using jigs. I have door jigs I built already. But windshield and hood jigs are in the process of being built (This is what I've been working on...). Using these I will work the body to match these jigs.

Phase 3: Replace Structural Metal
Now that all the critical measurements are back in line I can start replacing metal from the center outward, making any adjustments and tweaks necessary. Cutting out old metal will release bound up stresses, and fitting new metal will require working the surrounding metal. Once this phase is complete, things like longitudinals, floor pans, front trunk pan will all be replaced.

Phase 4: Replace Non-Structural Metal
At this point the body alignment portion of the project at complete. Now things like the fenders/firewall/etc will get rust repaired, replace and/or modified (fender flares). This is 'normal' rust repair and chassis work. At the end of this phase, the main chassis will be complete.

Phase 5: Panel Alignment
The final step on the bench is to install the doors, hoods, and roof to make sure those are all in alignment, and the panel gaps are set to factory specs. I'll be using lead where applicable, just like the factory.

Phase 6: Roll Cage

I don't think i want a full cage again. At this point i'm leaning towards one of your GT 1/2 cage roll hoop bar thingamajiggers ...

PS: I really want to be able to have both seats go all the way back if needed.
PPS: That also implies i want a movable passenger seat (at least be able to bolt down in different positions).
PPPS: Which also means i'd like to be able to mount my racing seats and 5-point harness.

I am looking forward to seeing this car move along the process of restoring it to the road. Very exciting. Please post a ton of pictures of the process. SirAndy has got to be very excited too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Andy - what's the final goal? Flares, engine, overall look? Inquiring minds want to know.

And, any plan to have it as original color, which appears to be #2910, Canary Yellow?

Yes, yes, yes, no ...

- Extra wide metal flares with 9"/11" x 17 wheels
- 3.6L air cooled engine
- GT-ish look, but meaner
- Most certainly *not* yellow

These are TB15's but with some forward rake would give you a "mean" look.
