Hey guys new to posting to the AACA. i am 26 years old from Pittsburgh PA.

This was a customers car. He wants it all stock. Just figured you guys would enjoy some sheetmetal work and the fiasco of new patch panels that i am going through. All the sheetmetal work is tig welded and as close to metal finished as possible.
