[87 GN]

looking good! Maybe you'll get it back so you can assemble it over the winter! I REALLY need to get back to mine.

Keep us posted

Right now its looking like sometime in the spring/summer. Still allot to do before final paint. Hoping to put the body back on the chassis in February.

It looks like it belongs there. Next step cutting that section out of the hood and welding it in flush, also adding tabs on the underside to install the GN hood liner correctly as a final touch.

It should look great when it's all grafted in there. You have to be extremely careful welding it in. Especially hoods and long panels. Lookin' good so far.

Still chipping away at the hood

Interior of the body shell was finished up yesterday, final welds complete metal was etched, seams primed, seam sealed today it gets paint.

Body mount behind the pass side rear tire was repaired

Ant I snapped a shot of the rear of the new fuel fill a few people had asked how it fit in there.

Looking good. I did the same to mine, then layed bedliner in there before the hushmat.

Pretty much the same plan here except Im spraying the underside with the bed liner.
