    Never bored Rob! The information provided here is invaluable. Attention to detail. Great work, it's really coming along. I'll be interested in the video when you get the front clip on. How you line up and muscle the gaps between the fenders and the front bumper to get everything aligned.

    Love the work you do it shows you don't need a big fancy Body Shop to do the work to your car with time and patience anyone can do the work

      But Mike I do have a fancy body shop. It's just my driveway that's very well ventilated. Lol. Thanks for watching

    I built a little tool for welding small holes closed.i smashed a piece of 1/2 copper tubing flat,drilled a hole in it and riveted a small magnet from hardware store to it.now you can cover the hole with copper and weld it closed starting at the edges .the weld will not stick to copper.cheap and easy.

    Man you are making this look easy!! I know it’s not, but wow it’s coming together.
    I have to make the same repairs on my father’s 55 around the trunk.
    What gage sheet metal do you use?

      I'm still using metal scraps from the Regal deck lid. At least it's GM metal though. Lol
