The rocker panels are being set in to allow for the door bottoms to be lengthened down to the bottom of the rocker panels to eliminate the horizontal line that would normally be at the bottom of each door.

 It takes away that horizontal line and looks a lot cleaner.

Here are a couple more shots of the concealed rocker panels.

This side is almost complete, and the horizontal line is gone.

Just a couple shots of the work being done to close up the gaps between the hood and the front fenders.

A lot more work than it looks like in the pictures. Both fenders had to be pie cut along the hood and metal added to them to make the gaps more uniform.

Here are some pics of the new Hagan door hinges installed.

SPW power windows being installed.

Moving closer to going to body and paint

Here are pics of some of the interior work that is being done. This is a lot of work but the results will be more than worth it.

The door panels and roof lines are being re-worked to receive paint in some areas and provide a place for headliner and door panel upholstery to terminate at others.

Not too far from going to body and paint prep

Here are 4 more pics of some of the interior modifications taking place.

It may not look like a lot of work but it takes a lot of time to fill in and smooth out all the lines inside around the windows and doors to make everything flow together.
