That bites, bummer
Well with a 107 outside temp maybe the panels will just melt together on their own.
Other than having to drill holes for plug welding and having to grind the welds after ,the mig is almost as fast as a spot welder ,a whole lot lighter ,the spot welder weighs almost 30 pounds and after just a few welds it is hard to hold up
Its a really good feeling when you can see the bottom of your box of parts and there is nothing left ...and nothing missing !
It took me all day to ad in all the little brackets for mounting the fiberglass,i had forgoten about .

The last of the welding finished ,all the welds ground and it is ready to go to the painter . Now i can start on the 65
There is a total of $6,800 . In this one ,the body cost me $800 so it is a reachable thing.
I made all the interior trim panels for the 67 conversion ,i have the molds for 65 -66 also ,so i will not have to hunt down interior pieces
They are a little old but still make a pretty nice part ,i am working on new molds ,a press mold that will make panels just like originals
Wow, HorseSence
And again I'm impressed
Is there no end to your do it yourselfness!?!
simply kickass!
I havent been able to work on my 65 ,just to much work going on to mess with mine .
I did get an up date on the 67 though ,it is getting painted now ,looks like vintage burgundy
