BT7 6722 is progressing at a slower pace than wanted, but that's to be
expected.

The body work on the rear fenders, bonnet , boot, doors and tranny tunnel
have been completed.

They began the aluminum welding on Wed. typical rips where the front shroud
meets the chassis. Additionally, I had a bunch of extra holes drilled into
my trunk floor and rear shroud. I guess it leaked and rather then replace
the boot seal, they drilled exit holes......

The metal has been sealed and they are working on the the body work.  I will
try to break it out and tow it to the ABFM-Portland, Labor day weekend ( if
its not done by then)  I will have lost this driving season, but I have to
be satisfied that we repaired all 4 fenders, doglegs and rocker
ends, repaired one  rusty door, removed all brightwork and interior, removed
the intake and exhaust, had the car striped to bare metal and begun the
bodywork in less that 8 months time! wow!
still cleaning out the garage looking for parts I have squirreled away over
the last 35 years.

I will upload photos to the other site, as per Mark.
Cheers
