That's a nice project. Sounds like its gonna be a great driver. It looks like the wood has been replaced with steel. Did you do that yourself?

Yes, I have been replacing wood with steel from day one, it seems. Have a look at what I started with

I'm on hold until I can get the door frame fixed, cowl is out of wack!

Wow.... what difference between the before and after shots. It's great to see an old Chevy that was so far gone coming back to life. Nice work! I've done a couple of projects like that and I know what a challenge it can be but the end result will be well worth the effort. Keep the pic's coming!!!!

You are brave! That was a huge project to take on.

When I began replacing the wood with steel I decided to make it removable. There are bolted joints.

[32chevy]

Some more of the steel

Very nice, how long have you had it?

Wow this car has come a long way.  Great to see some of these piles of parts come back to life.  Keep up the good work.

I like the idea of bolting it together. Did you use some of the original corner brackets and braces that supported the wood? I have thought about using Dzus fasteners for some of the body panels on my roadster. I'm glad you are running a straight 6. It was Chevrolet's overhead inline engines that set them apart. Set a lot of speed records too.

Looks good.  Everyone makes a big deal outta pulling wood out and replacing with metal.
I like the idea of bolting it to...may use that in the future

Can any one take a side view photo of the front windshield, in such a way that both windshield posts are flush with each other.
-When I eye mine up, they are not parallel. one is out by 1/2".

What should the door gaps be around the door frame?

I went to get a picture for you but the keypad  on the garage is dead so I'm locked out until I get a battery.

This isn't my car but I had this photo that might help some....
