Thanks for sharing these photos! This build looks like it is turning out fantastic. Do you have any images of the finished project? I'm restoring a '49 myself and this is inspiring. How did you resolve the body/doors alignment once it came together? Did you have any need for bracing the shell? I haven't taken the body off of mine yet, but preparing the deeper dive.

Thanks!
Mike

Is it just me or is that engine/transmission color way too bright?

Tim & others,

I too would like to see the status of his car.

Yep, I think it is on the light side.
I posted a pic of what I think is a much closer color.
Hope you agree.

Have fun,
Steve B.
