Hi Nige , great project you have there and much admiration for taking and conquering such a thing, bit of a shot in the dark but do you want to sell the merc grill you have in the back there as would love to restore it ?
Yours
GUY :thumbright:

What a fantastic job Nigel and a shed load of work. I'm pleased to see you have the old Blackhawk jig and the trusty P188 to ensure everything lines up.

Good luck sir and crack on! :thumbright:

Yes, borrowed the jig and it has come in very handy so far.

Guy, the grille is off my '35 Buick and will hopefully go back on one day, that's another project I have, currently having some woodwork fitted, but has taken a back seat whilst every other project I have gets done unfortunately.

Well done Nigel epic journey your under-tacking there, your skills are truly impressive, no wonder you wasn't phased taking on that car which most of us would of ran a mile from, but all your hard work will be rewarded 10 fold mate.

yes did see the repro bodies, they would have made life much easier, although it may have felt like cheating!!

Not cheating,but I'll bet they'll be at least £15K by the time it's in your workshop.

Finally after lots of measuring, and measuring again, the rear end is being welded up!
