While inspecting it i could only be amazed at his patients and attention to detail . Well the swiss cheese corners are all one peice again . after much welding and grinding and metal shapping . After those front sections where done i started on the back door Jambs. I still have work to do in these areas , I hope to finish these this weekend and move on to another section of the Van . | | | Re: 77 Dodge Street Van | Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 18,536 Likes: 136 Supreme Master | Supreme Master Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 18,536 Likes: 136 | Arianrhod:2003 Chevy Astro Black Magic: 1985 Dodge B-250 Serenity:1985 Chevy G-20 The Outcast:1983 Ford club wagon Luna 1974 VW bay window transporter Freedom:1990 Ford E-150(parts van) Outcast Vanners van club Support your local 2% | | | Re: 77 Dodge Street Van | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 3,586 Likes: 1 pooh-bah | OP pooh-bah Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 3,586 Likes: 1 | So i went to the Junk yard today picked out a victim for a donor roof and went to town on it , And after all that i was being careful not to screw to much up the fork lift pretty much trashed the rest of the van ..

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 . | | | Re: 77 Dodge Street Van | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 21,211 Likes: 25 Supreme Master | Supreme Master Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 21,211 Likes: 25 | Great work Joe!
