BobT-47P15 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Posted November 24, 2010 Well, Dale has made progress in putting a replacement roof on the tree damaged coupe. Still a ways to go, but doors and top are now in place. The force of the tree put numerous other things out of kilter, which have to be addressed as they're found. Quote
RobertKB Posted November 24, 2010 Report Posted November 24, 2010 Unbelieveable! From a parts car to a rebuild. I never thought that car would see the road again after seeing the pictures of it when the tree fell on it. Your son-in-law is amazing. Quote
plyman 50 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Posted November 24, 2010 Looking good, quite an improvement. Quote
thrashingcows Posted November 24, 2010 Report Posted November 24, 2010 Wow...do you have a link to the original thread showing the tree damage? Well done so far, not an easy thing to swap roofs. Quote

JerseyHarold Posted November 24, 2010 Report Posted November 24, 2010 Terrific work! You should make a poster with before and after pictures of the car to display at shows. Quote
