Building a 1954 VW barndoor single cab from scratch // Front floors and valance install.  

G'day, Mr Nick, Some awesome progress this week. Thanks for taking us along. ✌️ Peace from Melbourne/Pakenham.

Loving the progress. Nice work as always sir.

Hi Nick, amazing progress...I wish I had as much time as you 😉. Great reconstruction work again. Probably too late...but I'll see if I have good original measurement tables from the early model.

This is seriously impressive work. From what you started with to how it’s coming together is mind blowing, especially since you’re doing it with common tools!!

Looking fantastic! Great work Nik!

Hey Nick, You're a magician bringing this one back to life. 👍

Nice job on duplicating the panel. I'm rebuilding a 64 double cab. A nice old uncrashed rusted relic and one thing that has stood out is these vehicles were not built straight, square or plum. I've had a couple of panels now that I installed were they look good not where the measurements say they should be. The entire rear of the vehicle appears to be 14mm off center of the frame center line. Thats how it came apart, that's how it's going back together

Absolutely inspirational work you're doing! Thanks for documenting the process.

Hey Nic, awesome progress..bought my 8mm tube from the local brake centre.

Great work mate. Lots of details

Man I’m enjoying this.

👍👍👍

Haha phosphoric acid on my food tonight, you'll turn into a mad professor working on the 1954.🤤

great progess

Nice progress. I see a problem with the valance ends though. Top and bottom lips should flow into the valance lips. I will send you a photo when I am in the shop later. You may have enough material left to cut off the lips and bend new ones. This was caused by not using the most up-to-date drawing. haha Also I didn't add the bend lines for the curved lips. sorry. I just added them so the next person doesn't have the same issue.

The rust dust etc. makes me think you should use a mask every now and then. And maybe a wig!! (Sorry, Nick, cheap shot I know) What is the latest on merch?

Great work Nik. Lots of progress. How do you measure accurately on your own ?

Rebuild The b piller corners because their a bit shagged😂

great progress - its great seeing all the thought processes that go into putting this back to life
