The only parts that are welded are the floor pan, center tunnel, longitudinals, rear shock cross member, rear engine mounts/cross member, and the forward firewall and it's components. All the rest is just clamped in position. The front clip is all that is left of the original car after a severe hit in the rear by a drunken corvette driver. Many years in the build, and the '73 RSR clone if finally coming together.

Sure would like to get a hold of the factory windshield, rear windshield, and pop-out window templates. Anybody know of a set?
I was going to post that it looked like you were building a new car from scratch from new parts except the front fenders. I was going to post that as a joke. I guess I'd have been pretty much right on. Too much work for me. I'd have had to just get a new car rather than try to rebuild one from the fenders.

Reminds me of the paleontologists that build a dinosaur from one tiny bone that they found.
