great pics. I've seen those before, I thought that link was in a members sig?

Those are cruisemaster67s pictures. graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I need to get into more profiles and see what folks are up to then and maybe ill find out more of whats going on

I really admire the dedication and organization of some of our members. It appeals to the mechanical, anal retentive type-a male in me. LOL. Nice documentation!!!!

Pic are great. One thing I noticed that was kind of scary is the way the car is supported when the floor was out. Only having jackstands at each corner put alot of strain on the roof and rockers. I don't mean sagging as much as twisting. Also, peplacing the quarters with the rear in is great, but with the wheel house completely off too the car is subject to a sagging condition. It just takes a 1/4 sag to throw everything off. Even with a coupe. I welded re-inforcement bars in the door jambs and roof when I did mine.

Joe, I looked over my car and contemplated on how to do it. I have found that there would have been sag if any of the rear sheetmetal were removed. The car was not moved nor does it have anything in it. Just a shell. As it is, nothing twisted when the floor was replaced. The measurements I took before hand, were doublechecked and found to be the same after I installed the floor. I have found also that on a coupe the rear clip won't sag if the understructure is kept in tact. Meaning the inner roof to rocker area. So far, the quarters and tail pan are a good fit. The only problem I have is the tail pan lower curve where it meets the quarter is not radiused right. So I am looking for a NOS tailpan right now. The previous wheelhouses weren't holding anything as a previous owner tried to weld it, but was swissed cheesed like crazy. By the way, there is new rear frame rails too.

I'm not a professional by far, but with my crafting experience I gained from 20 years in the militart taught me alot. The majority of my experience I learned being a sheetmetal mechanic on jet aircarft.

Joe, I appreciate your commenting on my project and admire what you have done on yours. Awesome!
