Blasted the hood, welded in the rest of the patches and filled the remaining holes. Worked out some more dents and got it setup so we can do a dry fit and finally assembly mockup. Tomorrow is just working out dents, aligning panels, grinding some welds now I can get to them and crawl in the trunk to get the damn latch open... it is jammed of course...

Hi Jim , I seem to have had that same problem getting in the trunk myself. LOL. It was a lot easier for me to get in tho, at that time there was a big hole in the trunk floor for me to climb into. The car is looking FANTASTIC, I sent pics to the lady I bought it from too. She had that car for 48 years. Looking forward to seeing it when finisshed.
