Thanks, pic of me and inspector #3,  11yrs ago before we both got old and grey. :-\

Finally got the door latch (outside) hooked up and done. Tight fit, I had to build this lever to clear the door glass channel. Works real good, but I did have to put a return spring on.

I'm about to say to hell with it and pull the body off, do the chassis and get it running. I wanted to do all the body mods on the chassis so it wouldn't move on me. I think the cage took care of that, everything is damn solid. Just found out my small town is having a car show on Memorial weekend. It would be nice to at least have it running by then.

Your doors are looking top notch. I would also like to get a ride in mine this summer if possible.

Sammons, that door looks SOLID!
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

those would have been part of the parts left overs from the repo 32 chev roadster that EXPERI- METAL did in the 80's.

Steel repo fenders QUALITY, DON'T ASK HOW MUCH, just say I will take a pair of those and I think the front gravel shield and the gas tank cover in rear ????

I bought the reproduction rear fenders and the needed very little work. I would have been $ ahead if I had gotten the front gravel shield and gas tank cover too.

I would recommend them.

Never underestimate the power of a lubricant.

Still haven't gotten back to working on the coupe yet, but getting real close on some of the shop modifications. I think we will get the metal sheeting on the upstairs tomorrow. It'll be nice to start getting all the extra parts stored up there and out of my way. ;D

Vette, my buddy said he was putting in a mini bar ( counter top, little sink and mini freezer/fridge under) for beer, ice and set-ups, and yes it will be down stairs in the clean room. (Upstairs may have been dangerous) Sent a pic too my brother, he seen the 12" I-beam floor joists, and asked if we were gonna have fat dancing girls up there. :o

At least we got the tin hung today. Now to build another sliding door upstairs and one door on the south end to access the heater.

I am planning to get the coupe back down there this week. ( I think I've said that before. ;)

Chopper me too! Sure glad I get to stay and enjoy some of the upgrades.

Vette, the ol shop has hosted many a party through the years. Bands, dances and parties. Hopefully more to come! Tom keeps asking me how would my dad feel about the Improvements.  I told him he would have loved it, just as long as we filled it back up with hotrods and customs again!

62131, i'll darn sure have to blow off the dust on all the parts before we re-store them up there. I won't be working on that side of the shop, so I don't have to worry about getting his side dirty. ;D  I'll just have a little more room from moving parts/materials over.
