Door skins, fender, torque box and floor pans. Sounds like I may want to buy higher quality. I'm not a bodyman but thought I could handle these parts...but not if the fit isn't right.

C.J. has a lot of the sheetmetal I need on sale and will deliver free with a 5% discount to the Charlotte Autofair. Any feedback on how their metal compares to the more expensive vendors?

I've got a 69 sportsroof with a clevor engine I had built about 20 years ago. It's the original 302 block with a set of 351c heads and Street Boss intake. I got the heads and intake from P.A.W. I didn't know it at the time but the heads were open chamber so I had to get a custom set of pistons from Arias. They are huge dome tops with valve reliefs. The engine builder I used did not drill out the water passages and the motor ran hot all the time. One piston finally started knocking and I had it replaced and drilled the holes out on the heads. It's been sitting idle in my garage for the past 20 years and I'm hoping to get it started back up soon. Keep us updated on the progress.
