My BMW 507 project

[A12pilot]

Finally some time to update the thread! I’m making progress and here’s the body now in DP epoxy. I’m actually further along than this photo, but this Ipad doesn’t have my photos on it. I’m very happy with the results so far!



Two-weeks vacation this month so more updates to come.

Cheers
Dave

are you sure this is the same project as the pics a few pgs back- you have come a LONG way --huge pat on the back sir!

Man, that's looking good!

Thanks, guys. Yes sir, same project!. I should be updating here more, and I’ll do it courtesy of a New Year resolution!

I’m wrapping up rewiring a 69 XKE so that means more focus on the 507. More to come!!

Cheers

Well done Dave and in quick time too!

[A12pilot]

Thanks, Marcus. I think the more challenging stuff is to come with trim, door internals, locks, etc. Right, because all of this was easy!

It’s been an incredibly fun project so far. Frustrating, but rewarding. More to come later this month!!!

How did you fix this issue, did you have to redo the front ?

Thanks for pointing that out. I cut the right headlight bucket area out and moved the headlight up to match the left side then welded it back in. Wasn’t the cleanest job, but it came out better than I had hoped. It’s way better now since it was off more than I had originally thought after you pointed it out initially. Thanks for the critical eye!!

I’ll post up more pics next week!!

Cheers

Happy you managed to move it and not fully rebuilt! Looking forward to your next pictures, what a cool project !
