Well this week i put a few hours in after work , and while working i noticed i didn't take a pic of Bobs upper door jamb .
While inspecting it i could only be amazed at his patients and attention to detail .

what does it cost to buy a roof donor section as that?


2014 and no more Econolines made... market blunder. The last new 2014 econoline to go to a vanner - DEADLAST
How many mid ford vans can 1 man own? Don't ask stupid questions...
My chopped mid ford will be painted black till they make a darker color.
Grind to Grind... Hot metal will abound the land... IceAge II 'The MeltDown'
My 3D printer will produce a life size 1969 mid ford in 2031... Wait and see...

Realy nice how you got in these swiss cheese corners!!
And how well they fit with the doors!

and why the new roof ?

Thanks Magneto ,

Those corners came out of the first donor roof section , scroll back to page 11 and 12 of this thread and you can see where the corner comes from , as for the roof i need the center section skin all but maybe three inches on the sides . It takes Three roof sections to do one chop the right way anyway . The sides of the original , a donor front section , and a donor center section .
I tried to make sence of it thinking about it but it really dosen't seam right or it's alot of extra work till you do it and see how it fits . Then it makes sence .
