Final Panel Placement Page
Final??
Panel Assembly, before going back to the painter
for the
Final?? painting.
Having gotten the panels back from the painter, it's now time for final assembly
Placing the panels onto the tub in situ (reversing the procedure of disassembly - grin)
Notice how Sean (Apex Auto Body) painted the edges of each panel.
The B-post
Not having to worry abou getting into the 'cracks'
Passenger side - where scuttle meets the wing
Boot area - where driver's side rear wing is joined
meets it
The rear passenger wing
Notice how he painted the edges, all around, so as not to have to paint beteen the gaps on the final paint
Rear of boot
Trying to get the most I can installed.
Can't wait!
I even put the wiper mechanism in. I know, I know. It needs to come off for the final painting.
Again...the edges are painted
The bonnet fits now, with no hump in the middle.
We laid it on a piece of plywood, carefully pressing down in the middle.
It was just enough to do the trick, lining it up with the apron
All wings, and wherever it's not noticable were undercoated
Inner doors, boot lid, spare tire lid, and bonnet were all painted body color
Excuse the dust
Anyone know what those little square patches are? They don't seem to be through to the outside. They're just tacked onto the underside.
I'm thinking patches for an old luggage rack install?
I'll be cutting new white oak pieces....When I get around to it
