Default Tin work, tin work, tin work

Got some work done saturday.

Re-made the tin work for the body yesterday and today. I think it looks good for a man with 1 left hand.

Dirk, now i know how you felt when doing this. It does not fit the first time.

Paul,
Time consuming work, but it makes the biggest impact on the progress of the job!

Dirk,
Thanks for the photo and info, do you have any Loyd dash switch panels left? I'll need one. NOS fuse box arrived a couple of days ago, but oil pressure guage is proving tricky to ID, can't find any manufacturer details in the Parts book.
