Thanks Guys!!

Brought home my stud gun with a shrinking tip and used the slapping file and water.

I started with this.



Here it is close to being done. I thought I took another picture before filler. It was closer than this before I spread filler.



During the shrinking process had more low spots develope. I used the pins in conjunction with the shrinking process.



In hindsight I don't recommend this process of cutting and welding to reduce tension. Even taking my time it gave me fits. In this pic I ground the welds to see where I missed.



Ready for filler

Re: Project Vitamin C-10

Very nice work Alan. I tend to loose patience when dealing with those issues. I guess that's why mine has taken so long. Just have to walk away before I get pissed and smah something

There have been many times I had to walk away from a car at my real job and work on something else. Then I come back to it and it falls into place. BTW thanks

2. Good: Your wife's not talking to you.
Bad: She wants a divorce.
Ugly: She's a lawyer.

3. Good: Your son is finally maturing.
Bad: He's involved with the Woman next door.
Ugly: So are you.

4. Good: Your son studies a lot in his room..
Bad: You find several porn movies hidden there.
Ugly: You're in them.

5. Good: Your hubby and you agree, no more kids.
Bad: You can't find your birth control pills.
Ugly: Your 13 year old daughter borrowed them.

6. Good: Your husband understands fashion.
Bad: He's a cross-dresser.
Ugly: He looks better than you.

7. Good: You give the "birds and bees" talk to your daughter.
Bad: She keeps interrupting.
Ugly: With corrections.

8. Good: The postman's early.
Bad: He's wearing fatigues and carrying a shotgun.
Ugly: You gave him nothing for Christmas.

9. Good: Your son is dating someone new.
Bad: It's another man.
Ugly: He's your best friend.

10. Good: Your daughter got a new job.

I guess I'm making progress every day then. Tojo's getting revenge on me alright.

Since I'm getting my butt kicked by these 2 yoda's I had to build my confidence up a little. It just reinforces the fact of why I do body work over doing mechanic work for a living. I think I would starve.

I also had to prove that I was still around and hadn't abandoned the project. I cut out the inner fuel pocket and got it bent. I used some metal from a wrecked hood at work. Then ran it thru the sand blaster on the side you see. I've go to put some more sand in the cabinet, so I didn't do the underside yet.
