I started to fit the windows today.
I still have to make new templates as you can see but otherwise don´t look too bad. I also removed the  door skin from the drivers side and next I need to modify the drivers vent window.

Got something done today. Heres the inner panel for the rear pillar:

The paint is too light, I think I´ll have to get another hue of blue ;)

I primered the inner structure. Next I´m going to make a piece to cover that area.
I painted the roof with a brush, I´m trying to save the weathered look of the car (and not to upset the guys in the garage with overspray :D )
The color is a little lighter but I´ll  sand the shine off, maybe it looks better then :/

Progress! I had to use some filler to get the roof and pillars straight.
Heres the roof.
And heres the pillar with still some high spots :/
I also welded the inner structure with a few spots so I can check out how it works. After getting that finished I´ll move on to the doors and windows.

The Buick is going forward.
Here I tried some inner structure for the rear pillar. After I get the sheet metal finished I can weld them in place and cover them with more sheet metal :D


I also shrunk the passager side vent window. Looks like it would work!

Another few hours with the drivers side pillar
Pretty good, just a few spots to weld

Heres a start of a helmet for my brothers boy.

Heres some older stuff:
I´ve done many of these, sinking the tacho in to the tank.


It´s easy to fix a dented tank if Youcan access it from the bottom 
More mods:
Or a fender for Harley.



Ok, thats about enough planishing the roof.
Next the pillars, more hammering

I had to move the car outside to get a good look. I like it!
High´n´low :/




The parts of the pillar are welded torgether and then the seam is opened with thin grinder wheel.
The roof is about 50mm longer
I made the piece so I can weld it with TIG. Then I don´t have to grind as much as with MIG weld. Less weld -> less grinding -> less heat, suits me ;)
The filler pieces for the b-pillar.  The cavity is for leadeing the roof panel to pillar.
The piece was little lower before the welding (and after :/ )
Welded! Looks worse than it is. My goal is to finish the job (almost) with out filler.
A little more massaging needed..
Eyeballing with paint. I used 3 different spray paint to get the color near enough.
