This thread is about the extensive body work Doc74 and his co-worker performed on my 69.
There is still some welding to be done. We decided to cut out the cancer and replacing the front floor board, trunk extensions,lower quarters and welding in some patches.

I'll let the pics tell their story...

All this cuttingl happened the first day the guys worked on my ride.
It shows exactly what needed to be fixed.
A lot.....
I ordered 1/4 panels, a floor board, two trunk extensions.

Up to the next level, more cutting, fitting all (the badly made) panels and fabricating the patches.
