Loving the fabrication work.

Bit more improvement...........

 

front wiper panel welded up and the windshield fit perfectly............... :wootjump:

 

 

 

and did some delicate art on rear RHS vent and LHS fuel cap

i like mat finish.........and polished them up for good chrome shine

 

 

this oldies have lot of chrome finish here and there........ oh such a beauty......... love it :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

enjoy..............

some thing i forgot to tell you.........

 

replaced wiper blades with new old stock ( not actually new a bit.......... just a bit used......) trico wiper blades........

i like them because they are old and curved nicely as the windshield........ :rocknroll:

 

and the cleaned center console

 

 

but not an old school radio

 

polished the rear boot lid chrome trim

 

replaced the brackets with PVC plates and new bolts (old brackets had rust and no way to repair them)

 

enjoy.........

That is some awsome workmanship.

Makes me think when i restart on my car i'll need to redo some of it.

 

Keep up the good work and add some pictures showing how you do some of this stuff, it is realy inspiring.

thanks friend
