Size:  356.9 KBalthough i was happy with the dash, the lower section was to flat, so gave it a little curve, finished off the side bit's, added strength to the lower section with a bit of rod, more to do like glove box, but that's it for the dash for a while...

Size:  302.1 KBliked the idea of a rear electric window, used a cheap taxi motor, cut down 4" and flattened the rail, made the window rail and framework which will have a pipe at the bottom for water to drain away, all bolt on, then had to deepen the window surround to make room for the window unit, as the rear body curves . Then a cover to complete.....

    some really nice quality metalwork there, will it be exposed in the final car?
    Seems a shame to hide it behind trim.
    I may live in East London, I may have a number plate that reads "Chopt",
    but I do NOT use 6" wheel spacers!

    'WOW' really does not do your work justice.

    Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated, sometimes I find it hard to get motivated, but as I'm lucky enough my garage is in the garden, so I force myself to do abit even if I'm not in the mood, got to keep pushing, if I can get the metalwork done before Xmas, that would be great , then filler next year when it warms up..... thanks again
