just before final adjustment welded in checking with sill panel

small update

just need to shorten it slightly and add the end piece to finish it off

thanks for following along

Amazing fabrication Work Neil! You should consider manufacturing entirely new 356 chassis for the rest of us mortals.
Keep up the great work! Justin

What Justin just Said!! Great Work Neil!!

Andy

steady progress. march it down

Hi Neil,

Love your use of the original chassis as a buck for forming new finder panel. Your attention to detail is what brings us all back wishing we might have gained similar skills along the way. I could really use a few pointers in my adventure with a MIG welder. Being use to stick welding, handling a hose with wire spewing out the end in a controlled gas environment is give me pause.

Neil - just looked again at your thread from beginning to end. What a nicely done project - there aren't many with your kind of persistence!
There ain't much that you don't know about a 356 body now, that's for sure!

Wow, amazing skills!

Makes me want to re think my NSU yard art car, previously deemed to rusty to save....

Wow. You are making a whole new car there!

thank you guys!

I'm having a little issue uploading pictures but it is still progressing and there are a few more pictures on Justin's site (abcgt), up to last week roughly

i will try and sort out the issue asap

thanks for following this madness lol

Neil haven't heard from you in a while. How is she progressing?

hi Andrew, thanks for checking in to the show lol, I have made some progress and made some corrections! but that's all part of it. tried many times to change the rear screen opening to accept the early window, it's coming along though now. the roof is almost ready to be welded to the chassis again. thanks for watching the madness

ps, how did you get on with the mig welding Glenn?

It's fabulous to watch, I've nothing but admiration for you. It makes my paltry efforts look very modest by comparison.

a little update as i have not been on the site for a while, but i am still progressing! here are a few pictures. i had the doors glass bead blasted and here are the results
