    57 hard top build.

    Although not even close to the interior part of the build, I welded studs to the stainless trim then polished.I laser cut plastic door-quarter interior panels and will be secured to doors and quarter metal with plastic clips. The small pointed securing tabs that would normally work fine with cardboard panels are too short and will probably break off with the thicker plastic panels when attaching.There will be no back seat due to the mini tubs and cage.I elongated the rear metal arm rests to balance out the look and cut down four door HT rear stainless trim to conform with the curve as two door trim is too short.
