Re: Tami's 51 build

finally got time to a little more work... here's a few pics...



PO did a crappy job of putting in panels , so I am cutting it all out and re doing it...stuff was off by as much as 3/4 inch in places.

welded up the lower seam, I read that here and would never have even thought about it.. thanks!
top's lower,,, now gotta make the doors fit..


we were going to put a 3/16 round bead where the drip rail used to be, but once I got it this close, we (meaning her..lol) decided to leave it smooth


hard to see , but we are messing with the idea of putting some louvers, intake, what ever you want to call them into the hood, I like it !


one thing I just could not find that I liked was a vent setup for when we add AC, it all was either cheap looking plastic or, well you know... so I just put in 2 louvered boxes in between the ign. and lighter.. hopefully I'll have room for the ac switches in between.. to me, this had more of a (looked like it was built that way look) and since we smoothed the dash..(filled in the old radio, speaker, ashtray) and smoothed the glove box door, this is a clean look..
