I had to change that Subject to Kastenwagen, and got rid of the PMG.
Cause its true that this is a Kastenwagen, but the PMG was a mistake. (fool'd me...

)

Here r sum pics since last time.

Still need to make sum final touches to the hand formed piece. THen i will weld it in. Grind it. Epoxy it.
I should get a chance b4 the weekend if the pieces surrounding the dogleg can be made. I might have to wait for the long side panel....Not sure...hard to tell.

B4 and after pics with the stages of teh fab process.
i forgot to take pics on the other side of the dogleg in between the stages. To much on my mind to remember to take pics.

Same with the dash b4 and after. Still not finished i found out the hard way that if i sandblast it, i need to epoxy straight away. otherwise it gets surface rust, which was harder to sandblast than the first time sandblasting. Paint is much easier to take off than rust....

Very nice work. Should be compulsory viewing for anyone buying a split. Start cutting and keep cutting. Looks lhis is going to be a ripper.

I was thinking about cutting a couple up for space but now viewing yours
i think i will keep em for another day, that's brilliant persistence & a lot
of cutting & welding coming along there.
