Dude! thats extreme.

 

Going to be hard to keep all that in the correct place when fitting the new sections.

 

Love your style though

looks like you will have a virtually brand new shell when its done due to all those new panels looks just as much work as needed to my pickup

Id have braced before doing that!

[Tom Sanderson]

There is really no need to brace any of that as its purely cosmetic with no structural mounting points. Besides what is there to brace I only have a roof and two quarter panels left!

Jesus, Mary and Joseph! really wasn't expecting that!

 

Sure is some hefty jig you've built there so I'm sure it will go back together with ease.

Good God man there is almost nothing left!!!!! LOL

I look forward to seeing your progress, you look to be well set up and have the kit and skills to do this. I can see a magazine feature coming out of this one!

 

Well done. How many weeks do we have to wait for completion.

Thanks for the comments. I'm not sure on a completion date! But I dont think getting it done this year would be out of the question, depends how much work i have to do to my race car once the season gets underway again!
I still need to buy the rear heel board and a few other small panels before I can make a start building up the new floor, but hopefully I will get chance this weekend coming.

haha not much of a shell left... looking forward to watching this though

[SilverSaloon]

Wow. Good luck

Hope you remember how it all goes back together mate!! Look forward to seeing it finished! :)

[Tom Sanderson]

Cheers for the comments :)

I pick up a heel board at the weekend so I got it bolted up to the rear subframe and I also got the bulkhead bolted to the front subframe. With these on I couldn't resist a trial fit of the floor panel, here is how it's looking.





I had to trim the lip from the floor panel to allow for the extension piece to fit.

looks to be a great way to build it up and keet it all straight i may have to use this method when it comes to replacing all the floors in my pickup as its a brilliant idea great work

[ryan22_lgm]

Look brilliant ! Keep us updated!

[Jared Mk3]

Great idea, looks good 

[Tupers]

Well I guess it's definitely going to be solid once it's done.
