Work continues... slowly

I've been busy with some other projects, but in my spare time I have been able to get some work done on  the wide-body. Its going slow, but i'm happy with the progress.


The rear wheel doesn't rub at all, even full compression with no springs installed.


I've had to do a LOT of detail work along the door jamb, and tail lights. I pulled the sheet metal out so far that id created a gap in both areas, and i've had to create some compound shapes out of steel, and then weld them in place. Its been very time consuming, but i've enjoyed the precision needed to get it perfect.


I've had to add strips of scrap sheet-metal to the tops of the fenders to get everything straight.


At this point al that is left to complete the driver's side is some detail work near the rear bumper, and fabbing up the top section out of  the scrap fenders to close the gap.
