[Plasticman]

yes i do mike, but it wasn't obvious from the part of the thread i read and pics i looked at that it is a panel conversion

it was obvious the guy doesn't have much tin bashing experience so i thought i'd offer an easier alternative option for him to consider

i have done a bit of bashing over the years, here's a sample of what i've achieved on my '69 fastback with some sheet steel, a piece of 1" box steel, some wood, a bit of railway sleeper, some clamps and a hammer:








btw mike, your work is very impressive and your welding is excellent

ps sorry for the thread hijack, top work yourself keep going
