If I start buying rubber seals what is the minimum that I would need to be drive able? I think I have the body to pan already.

Today's work. First pass on drivers side.

Ran out of wire and have gotten a little tired of all the stitch welding. So moved on to figuring out the final look I want. Figure it will turn out better if everything is cut and formed prior to paint. Here is the rear deck lid. Thinking of drilling holes underneath the bottom corners where the metal folds over and putting clevis pins with clips or rings to hold the corners down as I am still using the hinge and mounts.

A little more work done. Might have to trim more when I get to the rear engine cage but happy with the look so far.
