Very nice work! Why did you decide to make it RHD?

To be honest, why not? This car was done to try my skills at building a car and I wanted to do all the work myself. So the more "fabrication" the better for me to learn I guess. And besides how many rhd cars do you really see :lol:

Well what the heck. Does it count that I was originally planning to do that, but then after some discussion on it just not looking right, I changed my mind? :oops:

Ok, here is what Eric did for me and what it is for. The previous owner cut out the ragtop headliner clamps. This was the design

Here is what they are for/ where they go (thanks Jeff for the use of your car)

Here is what Eric sent me prior to my cutting all the little tabs for it.

Thanks to Jeff again for getting me the measurments. I have them all marked ready for the cuts, just have to do it now.
Big thanks to Eric again for bending the metal and making these things look good.

Other than that, not much new. Just been touching up a few spots that looked a little rough for my taste. Been grinding a lot. Almost ready to get going on the ragtop.
