hi Al, thanks for that. I have a 57 2dr hardtop, just need to replace a couple of outer floor brace sections and outer wheel wells. The floor its self is 100% solid. Body off would purely be to clean and paint under floor and chassis. Cheers, Ian.

Hi Ian, no I didnt brace it (maybe I should have ?) just bolted it up, held my breath & turned it over !
Pics are on here somewhere.
Might have some outer rear well panels left over ?

After ignoring it for 5 months, finally got some stuff sorted on sunday.
BIG thanks to my son Aaron for pushing me & always being keen to help work on it.
Also big thanks to John Tudor for coming over a couple of sundays & getting the sbc set up right. Now runs & sounds better than ever
John found a few probs, changed jets ect in carb & changed weights in dizzy & few other bits n bobs. Wish I woulda got him round this time last year.
After John left, we washed & polished it. ok, I washed, Aaron polished
Few other bits to do this week & get mot sorted at weekend. Also need to get a few bits of the interior changed & then get out in it more than I did last year. After Johns help, should do a few more mpg now.
Oh, & for anybody that missed it, from a few months back. Big thanks to Dave for the article & Steve for day taking pics.
