Hit up Restoration Design,up your way,for all the needed sheet metal. Also check out their videos. Looks like a fun project. I am working on a 59 coupe, build a roterisseri and made the floor replacement a lot easier.

I am located in Saskatoon
was looking at a big order from rest design waiting now for the coa
To decide what I want I'll do
Considering the 944 arms 901 and a 2.7 or 3.2
But not totally sure yet haven't really decided
The good and bad of doing it besides the obvious extra fab work
