please make sure that the panel joints/repairs you have above the center of the front wheel openings are done correctly, that is a VERY bad place to have a joint and not have it show up in the future.

My daughter attends Regent's College in London. Is Romford Essex nearby? If so, I would like to stop by and check on your project on my next visit to the UK.

Really like this thread and the time you're spending posting the photos on the progress. It looks great.

My 66 vette is original but my 67 Chevelle SS is a resto and I drive it everyday. Except when it's a good convertible day.

Looking forward to more updates.

Joe
