Body Block

1. The body is now in hi-build and as seen the lines are coming together crisp and straight.
2.. With all the inside lines and concave/convex shapes on this car it makes for a real challenge.
3. As mentioned the arrow shapes with inside and out side lines including the convex - concave shapes makes it a challenge to bring to perfection but Nat will knock it out.
4. The wheel houses were modified for Max clearance so the lip was removed and a 3/8 wire was formed and welded in to place.
5. The custom auto lift hood hinges await body work and smoothing.
6. Welding was performed and as seen the top of the inner aprons next to the fender edge were fully stitched and are ready to grind.
7. Straight edge shows no warping and ready for body work smoothing.
8. Even the inside door jambs are smoothed down, so when opened a straight panel flowing with wet looking paint will be evident.
9. The door striker side is also done and ready for primer.
10. The entire perimeter of the hood is welded on the overlapping seam for strength as well as looks when the hood is opened. Nothing but straight smooth panels.
11. All welded and ready for some grinding to smooth out. Notice the center brace that was added for more rigidity.
12. All unwanted factory holes were welded up to beautify.
13. Inserts will be covered in upholstery but all the braces will be body color so they have to be smoothed.
14. Body worked and ready for hi-build primer.
15. Primed and now it will sit and cure before final blocking and paint.
