Some more recent progress on the car. They are hanging the doors and pre-aligning the front end sheet metal. Looks like a whole lotta block sandin' going on.

Some work on the right side trunk to rear quarter seam. Looks like he didn't like the taper to the gap, so he cut and rewelded the edge section to get it straight.

The rear, lower, tail panel area, after the dented section was undented and welded back in.

Nice to see that level of attention to detail going into it -- few people go that far. Unfortunately these cars just didn't have really good body dimensional quality when they were new, and it sometimes takes that kind of work to get them perfect. I know my T/A will be seeing some of that when it's time for the resto and paint job...
