math18gauge Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 thank you guys but it's only a project... far, far, far, VERY FAR from your beauties... i'm ashamed. I've removed old paint, all stuff inside, build a stand for the body and i would make my own hellwig-style frame brace.... Maybe muni tubing but i hesitate. ( i've some experience in fabrication ). 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willie Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Hey Math Welcome!!! A great place here, and a ton of knowledge, and all very happy to help with any questions you may have!! You are starting in the same place as most of us started. Yours looks pretty good to start with as some of us started with more Swiss cheese than you think (ask me how i know) . lol Good Luck in the build and keep showing us your progress pics we always enjoy them!!

Glen Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Welcome! I can only imagine how hard it has to be to get parts. Good luck and keep pix of your progress coming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Glenn i was thinking the same. How hard it has to be to track down parts over there. I know its hard for the members in Canada, but jee wizz how do people in other Countries do it??? That can't be fun at all!! But on the brighter side, when they do find a part there, they have to be ecstatic!!!!! They need some dancing bananas!!! Dennis would you like to do the honors???????????

If he’s willing to pay the shipping , I’m sure that whatever he needs can be located. No Willie that’s not going to happen. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

math18gauge Posted April 8, 2023 Author Share Posted April 8, 2023 oh yes shipping fees are a real problem. sometimes for parts like thrunk panel it multiply the cost of part x2, x3 or higher.. that's why i try to make my own parts. that's the dilema : pay for a mediocre sherman or dynacorn with shipping or trying to remake.
