Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
Thanks guys for the kind words.
It took awhile to find one in budget and no major problems. Most wrecked Dmaxs I was seeing were wrecked hard in the front. Chase, anytime, except most weekends lol. Tend to spend time with my girlfriend. Ryan, I agree on the prices.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
As long as you still say "when I do"....you are already committed and confident enough to build one. All it is, a little metal and can always be reworked. Trevor

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
Been slowly building the mirror image of the 3rd door. Working with mediocre doors, as I am cutting them up so much, (it would be sacrilegious to cut up nicer).

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
Had some time tonight to work on the 4th door. Been fighting 100° plus days after working 10 hours this week. Its shaping up though.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
Thanks for the kind words gentlemen. Found my paint color 2015 Vette "Tiger Shark Grey" and interior color bright red for the project. Give it the classic 50's vibe.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
Tonights progress on the 4th door. Getting the details knocked out. Got the inner door handle area reworked and installed. Got the other tear drop cut out and welded in to access the bolts to the exterior door handle. Little by little.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
Been figuring out my door panel situation. A plastic welding first for me with no solvent welding.

Thanks Leon, I want to say thank you for the suburban years ago. Spent the last couple of years building the confidence and gathering the parts needed to get started. Trevor

Been awhile with the last of the beer selling season, but have been plugging away and got the pillar welded in finally. Glad to be over that part.
