'56 rag with a twist

The "kill switch" I named it the "O ****" knob.

Now I am working on the body.
Most of the rust on the right side is gone.

The complete doorpillar is gone.

And replaced.



And today I was working on the 1/4 panel.

Almost ready, after using some lead filler it looks like new again 8)

For an oval they even don't sell the bad fitting repro sheet metal. The only thing I could do is restore the old metal.
Together with some Tikimadness leftovers :thumbsup: (drag race oval) I will try to fix it again.



With these 2 holes the body is mounted to the torsion tube. My torsion tube is about 9cm narrowed (each side) so these holes needs to be moved.





Here's the difference;

The original form was long gone, so I had downloaded some pictures and started moddeling metal.



It's a corner you can't see when the car is ready, but I like it to look original.

Finally finished the left corner. When the body is back on the channels I will cut the corners at the wright lenght.



Nice fit, only have to grind the welds down and use some lead to smooth things.



On to the right site.
