That looks quite a bit better than when you started!!

Is the "crease" across the trunk lid an optical illusion?

When you see your finished product it looks so easy but that's the mark of a pro. Nice work.

 

[Hicktick]

Well there is no doubt , you are the MAN!!

I would guess that these threads have put you over loaded with work not that you were not before the A,s.

Thanks allways for showing us your unselfish craftsmanship.

Fantasic work, Tom!

Hope mine is next

Ok not to nit pick a man when he says all is done on such excellent work but this must be a different model coupe that mine as their seems to be some missing metal above the door.

The 'above the door' pieces were also worked on but are not in the picture. Without the wood to support them its kind of hard to have them just hang in mid air.

I picked it up yesterday and am very pleased with the work done. It was a 400 mile round trip and a very long day.

The PA Turnpike must have known I was coming so they setup another accident and slowdown just for me. The last 3 times I've been on that fool drive it has happened.

The price was reasonable and I hope that by Flop posting the pictures of the work done it gives people a chance to see his work and help him get more.

He was meticulous with the work done and I would give him our car again in a heartbeat.
He even prepped and painted the underside for me so it can go right on the frame. I won't have to make another trip to the paintshop at this point to keep going. I've gotten discouraged over the last year with the car to the point of dreading working on it but now that the metalwork is done I'm re-energized to keep moving.

Tom, (flop)

I know you'll read this and as I said I am very pleased with what you have done for us and I hope that using our car as a 'photo op' gets you more opportunities for your business.

The photos show many attachment poins between the floorpans, seat riser and subrails. Are they spotwelds or rivets.

Anyone knows how these were done originally ? Spotwelds, screws or rivets ?
