You should have told him you were coming to take them away months ago, then you would have had them that much sooner!   Grin Grin Grin

I pick up a hire van at 9 tomorrow morning so should be there before 12. Ifan said I could have them for free cos they've taken so long, but I'll pay him something anyway -don't expect anyone to work for free.
I think there'll still be stuff to do on them, so might be able to get that sorted while I wait for the weather to warm up enough to paint the chassis.
The edges needed welding all the way around the doors, where we trimmed them to fit the cab & the outside skins separated from the frames in a few places. Ifan hasn't mentioned doing that & has sprayed yellow paint on the edges, so I'll have to carefully re-hang each door & run a Tippex pen around the edges again.
The new interior window trims will also almost certainly need notching to fit over the ends of the dashboard before the doors can actually be closed.
Everything will be more awkward at the moment cos the back axle's out, so I can hang the passenger door in the confines of the lock-up, but not the drivers one, cos the Pop's too close to the wall on that side.
It's a starting point though. If the winder mechanisms work & the new runners are welded in, I could make templates & get new glass cut if nothing else.

Saw these snaps from the American Grand National Roadster Show earlier.
Mine doesn't sit this low, but a similar overall look. I'm thinking of cutting the floor out of my pick-up bed too cos I'd like to show off the, (hopefully), shiny chassis & 4 bar set-up. We made the bed floor from corrugated steel sheet, which has ended up with several deep dents in it, (we stood a bike engine in the back at one point), & has a massively over complicated framework underneath.
I've already made a steel platform for the fuel tank to sit on, so will look at modifying the bed into just the 4 sides that can drop over the tank.
Yes, it's utterly impractical -it's a hotrod Smiley
