Only just caught this project. What a great car! Hope you're keeping as much of the patina as possible - it's so honest and original. How will you tackle the roof if you want to keep the original paint? Will someone have to work their magic with an artificial patina on the roof once fitted?
Good question, possibly matt or satin black on the roof once its on, he will possiply bond the skin on and plug weld afterwards depending on heat penetration and damage to the paint we'll decide then.....My main objective is suspension and brakes and then we'll decide on the body work, thanks for your reply
Just a note to check what the bonding material you use is, I used some polyurethane sealant to bond on some door skins and then welded along the edges to get the gaps and all four doors are rusting through the skins already. This happened to me in a similar circumstance a couple of years back on another car so i'm now not putting any sealant anywhere near any welding.
