There it is... A '57 rag top. I've wanted one of these since I was 16. It's taken just short of 20 years, but I finally have one.The welding on the passenger side and the back both turned out very well. I still have a ton of grinding to do, which is the part I have always hated. Once that is done, I will have more than just a few pinholes to go back and fill.
When butt welding 2 pieces like this, if you miss 1 hole moisture can get between the body and the paint. When that happens, the body will rust and the paint will blister up from the under side. The best way I have found to get them all is to use a flashlight from the back side. Make sure to look at the weld from all angles, cause those little buggers will hide from you.
