Greg:
I can=E2=80=99t help you with the profile, but just want to say that this is=
 a wonderful project for you and your son. David and I did the same thing. H=
e started a frame-off restoration of a TR6 at age 12. Finished in time to dr=
ive it to school in the spring of his senior year.  Now, 30 ish years later h=
e still has the TR6 and we are racing TR4s together. A great experience at s=
o many levels!
Please keep us informed with pictures of Will=E2=80=99s and your journey.

Hi Greg,
There are a few good angled shots of the apron on my resto video.
Especially at 10:58.
