Almost every panel had to be replicated or repaired. A never ending horror story.

At present I nearing the completion of the roof.

Hi Mike, Mine is a 1951, it needs the whole bottom replacing and the sunroof repairing, as you know they do rot well!

Good luck with the Silver Dawn, same rust problems but you get a larger boot/trunk area.
