I'm Missing Dad! At least I have his hotrod! Cutting it up to preserve it for the future!Chevy elco

Step by step were making progress!! it’s alot to take on as one single chick but I’m going to do this and do it right!! 1971 Chevy El Camino quarter replacement turned into a half a year job due to replacing everything behind the quarter as well. DIY with what I have! Lost my dad to cancer I will not loose his car to rust.

It’s all about trial and error. Start with a small bit and work out as you get comfortable. Custom work is all about your finesse as you go. You lean fast it’s ok. Keep going

Great work. Love to see a woman doing this work. I do it too…!!! Finishing up both a 49 & a 54 Chevy trucks, also doing a 37 Chevy coupe, and a couple of 39ish Willy's gasser trucks.

Just a small suggestion for the rounded ends you might use a rounded object like a fire extinguisher tank just make sure the tank is empty and that it's metal. or you might try a tree stump a hammer and ratchet strap hope it helps

Gloves bro, gloves. Save them fingers

The great part about working with metal is if you do it wrong you can weld it back together and do it right.

I know I've met you in person a couple times and I believe I've met you in person once or twice after your dad passed away and I can guarantee that he's happy it's you cutting up the Elco because you're his awesome daughter and keeping it in the family and bringing it back to life. Keep rocking Rockstar ❤ I hope to get to see you in person again soon. I live in Aurora Colorado so I can always cruise up to your part of Colorado lol. I can also guarantee that your dad is looking down on you smiling the biggest smile Love

You got it looking good the cancer of rust you took out. Instead of putting bondo or other type plastic body fillers may I suggest a product called all-metal it is put out by us metal and plastic it's a aluminum body filler
