Re: '66 Longbed 327 w/AC project

As far as the drip edge seams, i did some "Creative engineering" that ended up really solid, looks good (i'm happy with it) and got rid of the 4 clips i had, and any seams not covered by weatherstripping. So now, it looks like one big panel going all the way around, and a lot less seams there for water to find it's way in. Pics of how it looked today right before the last (hopefully) skim coat. The one pic looks like it bends way down (passenger) but it's the angle of the shot. Once i get the roof skin on, i'm sure it will let me know where i need to tweak things before welding. This isn't near perfect, and i'm not proud of the work, but at least now it shouldn't jump out that it's been repaired and terribly at that.

Also, dropped drivers door off at the body shop to fix the crease that someone put in when they put the door check in wrong and it let the door open too far.
