Just spotted my old Notch on here so thought I would put a pic up of my new car - this called the Skinned Rat look

that pic josie got up looks hell mad with the wheel flare... would be fun to try fibreglassing something (fingers crossed it don't look that ugly), so u can kinda make that flare a bit more visible without the ugly brown crud metal showing

Done a bit of work on the Square - taking time plus I am a learner. The first shot is all the rust repairs completed, tidied up and rust bulleted. @nd is sill panel in progress. Ran out of gas in the mig.

ooooo takling the ugly and scary bits first. Looks like a good job. Any details on your strategy or what it looked like before?

Did not look to bad but sill was held together by paint and there was structural rust that had to be fixed for peace of mind. Strategy - mmm. Fix rust - it is nearly ready to put together now - all guards are done. Paint - original colour, want to try and paint it so that it looks old - any hints. Maybe some old school but subtle advetrising . RW and lower.
Pic below is what it started out as
