Worked on the pass side B pillar today. This car will test my fabrication skills.

Not bad for a first try. Not bad at all.

Thanks. This might sound weird but I enjoy doing the metal work.

I'm gonna say original. A lot of gasser guys won't agree. The original is classy in it's own right. However, if you are going to put wide tires on it you may have to move the springs inward if you don't cut out the fender wells. It really depends on your plans for the car.

It's gonna be a tough decision. I like an uncut original looking body. My feeling is you can't improve on something that's already perfect. But then I start thinking it's a gasser full send it don't hold back.

The pass rocker is burned in and the braces are removed. The doors open and close good and have good gaps as good as can be expected one small battle won. And on to the next battle fixing the inner quarter on both sides. I need to fix it just good enough to have sold metal to weld the mini tubs to should be fairly straight forward just burn more metal in.

It's not pretty but gets the job done. An old snap on tool box was good for cutting up for patch panels.

My OCD kicked in I had to make this look better. But welded and the mostly dressed welds. Seem sealer will work wonders later on. Snap on tool box to save the day lol.
