September 11, 201212 yr Author comment_401184 Not much traffic on this site eh?? Today I finished up the passenger floor pieces and prepped the rail for installation. The floor fit WAY better than I expected - so I'm hopefull the rest of the metal work goes just as smoothly!!

September 18, 201212 yr comment_401961 It does look great. I guess the car wasn't a California car. Lets see pics of the 56 Chevy you finished.

September 24, 201212 yr Author comment_402439 I wanted a better transition from the old to new rail, so I made up a piece that would bridge the gap: Bought this great chisel set with removable ends last week - a real nice set that I could have used hundreds of times over the years!

October 13, 201212 yr Author comment_404094 Finally got a little more done. The ubiquitous under the battery box rust.... POR15 on the underside will make sure it stays protected Some shrinking to get the curve: A little planishing to roll it out: Now I can cut out that little soft spot near the bottom corner....
