Dave 38 Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Hi All! Well I made it out to the shop today.First time sense the new knee was installed about 4 weeks ago.I can work about one and a half hours ,then put the leg up for a rest.I dont have time for the Dodge wright now as Iam 4 weeks behind.Iam doing a 25 Chevy sedan .When it came to us, all it needed was some top wood.Our pattern make saved 4 pieces of wood from the hole car.Any way ended up a ground up restoration.Here are some pix of the drivers door.It had wood screws holding it on.I fab up the inside pieces that where missing and welded up all the holes and cracks.And that was my hole day!Its good to be out in the shop again.Thanks all.
