1946 Oldsmobile 78 Reserection {my way}

[soltz]

I feel the welding and grinding woes.... my poor 40 Chevy looks like Frankenstein's baby...lol

Loving the way your doing this build, I agree about the rear window leaving it, I think it flows very well![cl

What he said. but isn't that the fun part [S

car looks great [cl

The drip rail will line up just fine because I still have a lot of movement in the roof I will meet it in the middle but the front section for the roof is a little higher than the back were they meet so I will have to make 2 small pie cuts on the roof on each side to bring it contour.

I wish my fleetline was as solid as your olds. Keep up the great work [dr

He makes re-pops. Not cheap but way cheaper than originals

Filling in the roof

 

[46carnut]

Filling in the roof now, the metal work has taught me a lot I am now able to understand what the metal wants to do, but I am now able to make it do what I want, this has been an awesome experience.

That came together real nice! Looks like the pie cuts on the roof top worked great.

 

[46carnut]

Sorry Sam the roof was not pie cut it was slid back and overlapped by the back window lip. When I cut the back end of the roof off I left about 3 inches of metal above the window and the roof was slid back under the material. The lines look title.

looks great

When you first mentioned chopping the roof, I had my doubts.

No doubt you did a fine job and it looks great!
