Interior framing progress

[EDNY]

Just leveled out the picture some...for some reason with the snow behind the car it looks like it's sitting high.  It's has a lot less ground clearance on level ground.

My buddy came over yesterday and tig welded in my 1954 Chevy roof panel.  Spent about 4 hrs hammering, moving and welding.  Still need some touch up welding and a diet of hammer/dolly work. Ordered a new shrinker hammer last night...have had my old shrinker hammer about 45 years now and it's works better as an expander because it's so smooth.

Dang that roof panel looks good. I know what you mean about our tools getting old and needing replaced.

Wow nice work Ed.  When completed it'll look like it came that way.

I like the rear window. I'm thinking it's still the original size?

Good work!

Good work!

Rear window was chopped one inch.

Hey Ed.

I think you got the chop just right.

I just went back and read your specs on it.

Good job.

Unless someone reads this post, when they look at your car they won't realize how many modifications you've made.  Framing, insulating, chopping, extending the hood, interior, etc, etc.  You're a car designer and builder...amazing.

Ed
The top on your car looks great, the roll in the insert looks like it belongs on the car.

Thanks guys...need some cold weather to get me motivated again! Kinda like seeds...need to stratify them in the fridge for about 3 months before planting!

Ed, you're getting that cold weather now, aren't you? They're getting a ton of snow in upstate NY, is that affecting you?

All of that snow is in the Watertown area (about 150 miles west) and Buffalo (about 300 miles west)..we really don't get serious snow up here since we aren't near the great lakes.
