also got the rear side glass trims reshaped and because im going to use a longer door window had to move the glass slider bar more to the front of the door. this leaves a small quarter light space , this will be used to mount the mirrors on.

thanks hellraiser and rn4 its much appreciated.

finished up the other wheel arch tonight and started to strip the car for final welding and paint.as i want to run the car this year im going to paint the under side and the inside but leave the out side of the body exactly as it is, sort of rat rod ish because theres no way i can paint the car to a show worthy state this year so i think its better to wait and do it next winter.more soon
