Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side
Awesome progress on the bodywork! All that time and effort is really paying off. Keep it up, you'll be in paint soon.
I'm digging the wood bed, that aluminum separator is really cool. |

Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side
Guys,
Here’s a couple more shoots of the hood gaps. The Passenger side was good until about the last 8' by the grill. The passenger side we had to rework the full length of the hood. It was wielded then filed down with a long file to keep it straight.. Lots of fun but the gap is money now.

Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side
So when you have all your gaps set, how do you keep them that way? What I mean is will you disassemble for paint? And if so, how to you ensure you get it back together the same?

All the parts(fenders, hood, hinges...) are drilled with a 1/8' drill bit in 2 places before disassembly. When you reassemble you use a 1/8 pick or drill bit to line up the holes and it will get you very close.
