In the Beginning...

These are pics as my baby came together.  All these shots are in our barn or outside my parents house.  To the left, the dash after welding in panels.  In retrospect, I should have been more thorough but this was back in '87 and I wasn't as smart as I am now.  On the right, the rear after welding.  Kind of rough but it worked.  On the left, the finished pan with our dog Thunder in front of my parents house.  Below left, the front detail of the pan.  I completely stripped it, sandblasted, primered, sanded and painted all my me in my barn.  I think it turned out OK!  Below is the welded in section to include the seatbelt mount, and the original motor all detailed.  Also is a shot of the pan from above.  The color is from a 60's British Cortina, if memory serves.
