Kelvin Dodd at Moss recently asked about my progress on this project, and now I have some good news to post.
It is time to celebrate a major milestone. The MGA with an Attitude now has all inner body sheet metal replacement finished, and it is time to lift off the body for under-body painting. This project has so far spawned 22 new web pages for documentation of the body sill replacement, including a few innovative techniques. Among other things, I have produced about $900 worth of replacement panels from about $20 (wholesale cost) worth of sheet metal flat stock formed by hand. It wasn't particularly difficult, but it is time consuming, so I suspect many people would rather buy the finished parts rather than hammering out their own.
