Very nice. I greatly appreciate that you don't endlessly babble about what you are going to do! You give enough info for the basics and describe more as you work. This is how channels should be! Cheers

Thanks mate, not many people have the skills to do this metal work and are also able to explain it in a simple, understandable way like Paul does. Cheers for watching

Thanks for sharing Paul I'm no panel beater but you have shown and described really well . I didn't realize there were so many shapes keep up the great work.

Nice, I see a 73 for sale on Trademe here in NZ . Great condition but not cheap.

What was the condition of the inner guard? Were any repairs needed before welding the outer skin on? I've found that rusty outer panels usually have rust damage behind. Loved seeing how that panel was fabricated. Great work. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Let's just say they need some attention! Its interesting following Paul's process, why not do those inners now? I don't know but he always has solid reasoning behind his process which we will all find out. I do suspect he is starting to prepare me for things to get really invasive with this build.

Thankyou much appreciated! Your question about Paul having a channel is an interesting one as its something he and I have spoken about a fair bit. Basically the time required and commitment to do just what I'm doing is massive, way bigger than I ever imagined. Definitely not a decision to be taken lightly!

Hi. Just wondering, are the rear wheel arches the same shape, size as the front guards? Use sections from the front guards?

@The-State-of-it

Жыл бұрын

I was looking at the front guard last night, I don't have the car to compare but they are definitely similar with the flare and the way it transitions to flat. I'll have a look at the rears next time I go to Bodymods.
