Re: Project Corkie

My project has hit a major snag.... apparently my body shop guy didn't brace the body when he replaced the rocker boxes...(not sure how he would know less than I)...even though I asked him about doing this before hand.....now the body is canted...and although he said that it can be "Tweeked".. I didn't believe him...since it's been in body shop prison for almost 18 months...I grabbed it out of pure frustration..now..I have taken it to 3 different reputable restoration shops...all of which has said that either the hull needs to be replaced....or that it's gonna have to be completely torn apart and resquared/welded/rockerboxed....etc.....However.. this is not gonna stop me.. I'm determined to get this beast going again....so hopefully I'll have some better news to report soon.....I guess the best lesson is a bought one...and I damn sure paid for this lesson....
