Still working on getting the body mounts bolted in. The drawing I got off Henry's blog was actually made from a 56 and its slightly different from my 55. No big deal just need to get some different length in bolts here and there.
Also, decided to cut off one of the gutter trims along the edge of the roof. Looks like I found my winter project as you can see below. I think its fixable. Still plenty of metal on the curve of the actual roof its just the angle piece that makes up the door frame that's gone.
I'm sure my welder won't blow any holes in it and all will go together perfectly.
