I know I have been quiet lately, been away for the holidays. Thought i would post some pics of my progress.
Finished buzzing in the drivers door hing post, had to oblong the mounting holes for the hinges to bring the door down to fit. Now that the body lines match I moved onto the pass side. I buzzed the pass side in and found that once the door was mounted it was off. Too narrow on the top. Cut the front side of the mount and made a door spreader (steel square stock with a scissor jack on the top).
Now that all that is right I mounted the painted frame on new bushings to the tub. All fits right so I flipped it over to refinish the underside. Started with scrapping and will be sandblasting next.
I will also be cutting the rear fenders for the flares, I'll be using a 1/2 dozen screws to mount the flares with an epoxie to hold them on. Then I can pull the screws out and fill in the holes. It wont be a totaly smooth mounting but it wont have any rivits to bleed threw the paint.
