Good stuff ,I hope it motivates you guys as much as it does me ..

Im putting in sills and a floorpan right now on the green sedan and its realy dragging out (2nd side)
It now takes just a flash in my mind of this poor guy and hey it all gets real easy. ")

I like cools comment too :)

Yeah, rented workshop and first class tools - nice.  That flanging and punching air tool is real cool - as is the Snap on MIG TIG and Blue point compressor.  I have to say though, it does not rate compared to being able to waltz out the door and do some work in your own back yard or shed, I would find distractions that kept me from leaving my house to drive to the workshop - I think he is single ;)

It took me three nights to get through all the pics with dial up but it was worth it, it is a real good lesson in lining up gaps, mounting properly and bracing before you cut and weld.  I would have never believed that having the car raised by the rear of the chassis would cause so much distortion/flex compared to having it's weight spread through the springs - that was an eye opener and a good point to remember.

Put any car on a pair of body stands lower the jack and open a front door and you will see just how much flex there is when the door striker doesnt line up.
I once had a car on a hoist for some routine maintenance opened front door to do brake fluid flush and couldnt shut the door afterwards and that was an early commo.
