im not to worried about getting it straight right now. all i am trying to do is get it welded up. then when it comes time to do all the body work then i will weld it so it is straight ans smooth.

im not worried about rain getting in the car. this will be a daily driver. if it rains i will make sure the window is closed tight. i have already done a water test and no water gets in the car with the windows closed. i was using a 2500 psi power washer and blasting it rigth at the top of the window. not a drop of water in the car.

i hope to have an update this weekend. i have made alittle progress. i had a problem with my welder so i had to wait for parts to come in to fix it. then i got a bad case of welders flash. and that put me out for about 1 week and wating for the parts is killing me.
