How did you lower, torsion and drop blocks?

That body work is coming along.

I agree. Lose the hub caps. Nice work on the inside and you're getting there on the outside. Practice makes perfect, so continue what you're doing. A wooden block and hammer may be necessary for the door repair. Not too much strength with the hammer.

i used 2" lowering blocks in the rear and in the front i cranked down my torsion bars.



i'll keep the hub caps because the stock wheels are supposed to be white but there rusted to hell with paint peeling off. lol

A cup brush on a hand grinder and some rattle can and presto you got new rims.
