    I was knocking some filler down from the deleted hinge area and hit some filler from between it's 2nd and 3rd life. So stripped that area down. Was from a small crease. bumped it abit so it would take little filler to smooth.
    These seem to be my tools of choice for the most part when it comes to rough in work.

    I got Marks DH outline traced and while it was on the bench I whacked it in two.
    Gettin' Stoopid  66G - Page 11 Dh_cut10
    Bolted the front section down to get a better idea of what I want to do next.
    Gettin' Stoopid  66G - Page 11 Dh_frt10
    Next I guess will be getting an alternator mocked up to see what I need for room there.Turning the heat down to conserve some energy for this colder stretch coming, so progress will be sporadic at best. Time for plans ,lists and gathering more stuff.
    I did get the PS roughed in enough to get a coat of primer on it,, , still needs blocked and pits filled but OK for now. might be surgery on the doors yet to.

    But you got the first steps done and now it's rolling again. Now you have a plan of attack to get it even further.
    You're doing just fine. Thanks for the pics. cheers
