Are the pictures on the eBay advert of the finished product?

 

I keep looking into Jigs for mine but think i would be better off with a pole type one as the design you are using restrict access so much meaning you wouldn't have good access to key rot areas such as floors, toe board, bulkhead and i would be worried about the shell twisting if i cut parts out while it was on the jig.

 

When you say you have used this design, did you have any problems with access or twisting when cutting out panels?

 

I would be happier if the welding was a bit beefier on the joins too.

 

Thanks

 

Ben

as you can see in the pictures you have very good acess to floor, toe boards the welds on the joints are fine a shell can twist with a pole at least with my design you do not have a pole inside the car and no need to cut a hole in rear bulkhead

I have one of these and can vouch that they are well made and do the job nicely.
