Man, I don't know if I would be able to get something like that back together once it was all cut apart.
Hello kurt,
Nah, I'm not a body man, I don't have that kind of talent. I helped out a little bit (sand blasting and trim) but truth be known I probably got in the way more than anything,lol.
I don't see how these guys can get one back together like this either....miss a mark by a 1/4 inch and the whole thing is in trouble.
Notice we left the trunklid on, that was a big help in keeping things lined up right. Bodywork is an art, no doubt about it! And let me tell ya, even though I bought all Goodmark sheetmetal it didn't fit and line up as good as I expected it would. heck, NOS stuff doesn't either most of the time,lol.
Believe it or not the guy that did the work was on his own working out of a backyard type shop......he got all of this done in 5 weeks time. Amazing.
He was working 12 hours a day, no phone or distractions to slow him down. He did put the upper dash in wrong (couldn't get the windsheild in) but that is fixed.....and no complaints from me. I don't know how it is in your area, but most of the body guys around here would have the car for 3-4 months, some probably more.
As soon as I get this one done I have another '68 basket case to get busy on...going to make that one a 'driver' with a little bit of 'Pro Touring' in the mix, but nothing too extreme.
...DO I NOT
