i am moderately comfortable working with sheetmetal. i can tig/mig/stick/torch weld, and enjoy little projects like this. you should have seen my last project, had to repair a oil pan off of a 57 chrysler 300C with a hemi that had sent a rod through the pan... that was fun, came out looking like new. and yes, i'm referring to your car CB. looks good. so no lift on the rear or that or what?
