The door/body panel FIT GREAT! and the DOOR GAP!!

Tonight I got the little piece of rear door back in, as well as set the door gap.
everything went back together as planned. Over the next couple nights I have to clean up my shop, and I have a lot of welding to do. I will continue to try to post some new videos each night even if they are only short status updates! Thanks for watching everyone, I really appreciate the support!
Thanks Gordon Best

Great progress. It,s a joy watching someone sticking to thier guns!!!

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thanks!

Just on the frequency of video, I would agree you don't need to post daily especially if it puts you under pressure. Take your time because it is going to be enjoyable seeing it progress to completion but terrible if you crash and burn. So no pressure because we are enjoying every bit. JOE

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thanks a lot, it definitely is hard to post daily! Thanks for watching!

Awesome job. Enjoy your videos.

Great work on the car and really enjoying it. Agree 100% about Chad and jolenes work also. Would also add in Fitzees to the list. Joe

[@myclassicfords3658]

Absolutely Fitzee does amazing work!

You are doing a grat job. :)

Thank you! 😃

[@garyamos5799]

Great progress, maybe using magnets as your third hand just for tacking. Looks really cool! It reminds me of a Jensen Interceptor right now, can't wait to see the roof come down.

[@myclassicfords3658]

Yes I think I will grab some magnets, that would definitely be easier that struggling and burning my fingers! Thanks for watching!

[@matthewcox1122]

Can't wait to see the roof meet the tail for that coupe shape it's going to be sexy lines I imagine 😎🤩😍👍👌

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thanks! I can’t wait either

[@OLDMACK]

Even though you are inspired by Bad Chad you are building your car your way as Chad is always telling his viewers,, the door fit is looking great and you did a good job in explaining each step with the boring stuff done off camera, good editing skills and your camera does an excellent job capturing in high detail each step of your project, you are burning your candle from both ends so take some much needed rest if possible

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thanks very much! And thank you for watching!

[@thomasdalton9938]

Took the words right out of my mouth but I hope he never gets like Bad Chad he goes on and on and on about the same stuff I'd rather watch this guy the Bad Chad any day 😉

@@thomasdalton9938 thanks a lot for the compliment and the support!

[@fyou4122]

You should edit out ten mins of sanding and five mins of mig flashes could give people epilepsy. Flash forward you keep people more invested. People normally put music over the grinding not good for you tinnitus. But good show brother. 👌

[@myclassicfords3658]

Ok definitely will take that advice! I like the feedback from the viewers, I think I can do a better job in time. Thanks a lot!

[@bigrockauto]

Great CAD engineering!! Enjoy the old school project!! Subscribed to your channel. CAD = Cardboard Added Design

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thanks a lot!!

[@myclassicfords3658]

CAD engineering lol.. I like it!

[@frankfurther3828]

I'm digging this project. I wish you would cover up when welding. The UV's are no good for you.

[@shawnkane7152]

Doing a great job! Take a day or whatever it is you need. Don’t have to work on the car every day. Just be sure to film even the small stuff in between. Video every few days would be fine. Keep it up!

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thanks a lot and that’s for the feedback!

[@patrickscanlon1631]

I think we got another bad Chad in the making you just got to find a queen jolene to do you camera work even though you doing a great job at it and editing 👏 👍 and teaching others your technique and explanation is tops as for the jag love what you are doing with it only ever see jags restored or put on a banger track or demolition Derby track in uk keep the videos coming like the look of this

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thanks a lot! I appreciate the compliments.

[@austinmorris3970]

Great build mate 👌 you definitely need to put mask a 😷 👍 grinding off that old paint though did you say your stretching the front end ? Awesome 👌

[@myclassicfords3658]

Yes definitely need to grab a mask! And yup stretching it 6-12”!

[@jagharingenyoutube]

You shuld weld the driveshaft tunnel before you do anything else, to get it strong at the bottom too. It would be really strong after that

[@myclassicfords3658]

Yup, I think your right. If I get the sides done, and the drive shaft tunnel it shouldn’t go anywhere. Thanks for watching!

[@jagharingenyoutube]

@@myclassicfords3658 Looking forward to see the panel you made today totally welded and grinded. It gives me inspiration

[@larrynason8716]

When it comes time to rustproof the inner panel's may I suggest cavity wax? I have good success with SEM rust preventer cavity wax 39573. My coworker prefers the 3M cavity wax plus 08852.(but he can be a bit of a dope). If you have never tried them I think you will be impressed with either. Do get all your welding done first.

[@myclassicfords3658]

Noted thank you, I haven’t tried them but I’m definitely interested!

[@danielryan2317]

You need a jag coupe roof or try making one out of the bits you have

[@myclassicfords3658]

I’m going to make a custom roof, out of new metal and some parts that I have. Thanks for watching!

[@williamkarenschrecengost8408]

You are not using a helmet, why I am not a welder

[@myclassicfords3658]

I find it easier to see when I’m building and tacking, that being said UV safety glasses are a must! Thanks for watching!

[@firemanack6486]

What?…..first comment?

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thanks for the input, I simply want to support Chad. So the last time I was there I got a hat and a wear it to show my support. As far as the floor goes, I will be there soon enough. The x brace in the front half seems to be working fine. The back half is very solid on its own. I want to tie the sides together first since the floor is rotten.
