Hang in there Jerry. As someone once wrote on here... 'Life isn't bump friendly". All in due time. Looking good!

67mann,
How are you cutting metal out of the welded seams? Are you cutting both panels out or separating them and only cutting one panel out? Referencing your rear window patch panel.

Man, you had me lost until I realized you meant avatar, not aviator. I actually looked up aviator to see if there was a meaning I was not aware of. :lol:



Nice looking build. Hope all is well and the Bump Gods are smiling on you!

Alstoyz....There was a guy on here years back that would do them for a small donation....he hasn't been around for along time and I'll try to look for his real company but, he may be retired or not there anymore :?

Thx for the compliments....soon to be without shop or house as far as that goes.....so the project is stalled to say the least

Where did you get the sheet metal piece used in the bed for the gas tank filler neck? Is it a stock piece? What about the fuel door?
