Most of you know now I'm back from Switzerland, shaking hand to Johnny D (alias Jean) in Geneva. A short but a very great trip, and meet someone from the forum here was very enjoyable. Everyone who could must meet Jean.

Here is some picture of the body, look good!

Hi folks,

now the body take a serious clean up and preparation for the next step, paint.

Most of the repair are done, some have to be made but most of it  is completed.  The fender and door are clean to bare metal, and the last metal patch are welded.

have a nice day.
