A series of pictures showing the installation of the gas door. The last one is just a fitting before final welding etc. I used the same method as the sunroof... making a frame etc. If you click on a picture, it should come up full screen on your screen.

An example of the fine welding that is getting done. The gray box is new and the rusty "gusset" from it to the red "beam"
















Look Ma, no wheels !!! The chassis is out in the driveway and the body up on a homemade wood truss stand. This is so I can finish up the undercar body structure.

the roof opens, the roof closes

So here is the sun roof in the "real car". I need to work on the video clarity.

Sun roof fun

So it has been 3 months!! I've been slowly working on fitting an 87 Acura sunroof into the "junk" car for practice before installation into the real project. One picture is of using a router to make a template from the sunroof hole in the 89 Acura we have. Then pictures of the template being used on the junk car and the last the sunroof temporarily in place to check the fit.

Don't have too many interesting pictures from June. So I thought I'd post this historical picture from earlier in the project showing the two "halves" coming together.
