Got the body back off the Vicky. Taking apart the chassis for powder coating.
I removed the body from the frame on the Vicky, and stood it up on the firewall so I have access to repair the floor.

Repaired the rear window panel on the 3 window.
The rear panel under the rear window that catches the water was really rusted through. So I made a new piece and replaced it. It still needs the ends made to cap it off and a tube to drain the water.

My part in the 1933 3 Window Coupe Build
I am incredibly fortunate enough to be a part of the build on this incredible 1933 3 window coupe. My part in the build will be to take care of all the sheet metal issues, finish and update the chassis, and see this project through till its a finished car.
When it first got to me back in April it was in a rolling state. The chassis was pretty well complete, and the body had been chopped. The body was a super clean original body but needed some attention sheet metal wise.
*Both doors belt lines didn't line up with the quarter panels.
*The bottoms of the doors under the bottom hinge sucked in away from the quarter panel.
*The drivers side quarter panel above the wheel had a push in dent.
*The hood needed to be replaced.
*And the chassis needed full exhaust.
*Needed brake lines, and a new master cylinder.
*Needed a drive-line, etc.
Here are some pictures of the car when I first got it in the shop:
