Love the smell of fresh paint

looking good! That bee will look sweet when done.

Thanks, I'm sure you will see it around when I'm on the road, as I'm in Kawartha Lakes as well. We probably have already met at a swap meet or car show.

trying to weld the trunk pan in, is there any tricks to getting it to sit flush to the frame rails in order to get a tight weld?

I used clecos on the floor pan but my own weight was enough on the trunk. some guys just use self drilling screws.

Wanna come over and stand on it for me? Lol

I've used self drilling screws with great results.

I think that's the option I'm going to attempt tomorrow

I just stumbled onto this thread. I'm cloning a '70 Bee from a Coronet 500. Mine is B5 Blue, white "C" stripe, white top and bucket interior. 440 Magnum,727, 3.23's.
Just got in from assembling the front end.
Like you we're building the car WE want. I'm not putting a lot of thought, time and money to impress others. My wife and I are doing the car WE want. When I see threads like yours I'm encouraged to see others are in deep like me.
