Looks like a beast with those rear wheels & that scoop. I'm sure it'll go like one!

Looking good mate.

 

Interested to know how you went about removing the chrome trim studs from around the outside of door windows?

 

Ive got some UC doors for my LH that I want to fit my LH chrome trim to.  

 

cheers

I used a laser wheel to cut the tabs off mine & then welded up the hole at the end of the door. You mite need to buy a clip & rivet set for the doors. :driving: :clappin:

Hi Greg just doing the dents. I run a speed file over the whole door when its stripped to find all the nastys. Then use a slapper ( old school ) to get them out where I can :driving: :clappin:
