Re: Reassembly is annoying!

Special-K, I spoke with a bodyman in Montana last night (go to guy for me) and he told me that I am "aligning as I go" which I am, we are getting the gaps symmetrical as we go.

Thanks for the warning though.

We hope to at least get that last bolt today and maybe get the hood back on but we can't start until 4 PM today.

Re: Reassembly is annoying!

*Update 3 (or whatever)*

We got the last bolt in! It was super easy...we loosened the other grill bracket bolts on that side, gave it a pull with a punch, and the bolt went right in. Dad held upwards pressure on the punch while I did the ratcheting.

I believe the sun's rays coming through the window heated up the fender enough to allow it to go in. I really do.

Hood hinges on.....now I am going to hook up the lights and such, get some small pieces blasted and painted/powder coated, and the hood is next.
