here's the shot of the vent boxes I made..
and started smoothing the dash
this is converting a pull down handle to the pushbutton type
these are the original hole for pull down on a 51
this is a reinforcement plate out of a 52, I just cut out a 2x3 square area around the original holes, lined up the plate from the inside, put the handle on temporarily , then welded the correct hole section in out of a 52 skin. welded up the 51 door lock hole and cleaned it up.
the rear gap in the door was touching, so I also had to drill about 10 holes through the skin , spot weld to hold the skin in place then cut off about 1/4 " on the edge of the door, lay a weld bead, and grind it straight.
