The bodywork . . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Concerning the bodywork, a huge amount of courage and dexterity was necessary to revitalize this Coupe ! A special thank to my father for all this work !

Seeing the photos before, you could perhaps believe that the car was not too damaged by the years and the rust.  But it's only after the total dismantling of all the pieces and the sandblasting  of the body that we can realize the amount of work to do ! As you will notice it on the followings photos,  a lot of courage will be necessary !!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To summarize, look at all these body parts removed and replaced by new ones !

 

 

Here is the body after a light sandblasting made to eliminate the traces of oxidation appeared during the welding work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last stage before the paintwork !
