We're getting ready to move the project off the rotissere to the lift.
We'd rehung the doors . Pretty scary hanging there on the rotissere. How many 100's should we allow for shrinkage when we reinstall the long? |

I've already crushed one. When they're gone, they're gone forever.
If I wasn't so damn anal it would be a lot easier. I've got one day of vacation to go. Trying to make old medal fit like new. Not going to happen. The long will be welded in in the am. Left with the weld thru primer brushed on. And Scotty B's Rustoluem sprayed on in the front cavity. So its ready to go. Spent the past two days puttering to get it to fit just right. No twists, no preload on any panel unions. It would have been alot easier without all the rust patches. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Feel real good. All four door opening measurements are perfect. I have the door gap set at 6mm for the first couple welds on both sides. I hope to shoot a video in the am showing how easy it is to move the door up and down when the long is removed. Don't know how to post them, but I'll figure in out. By the way Worn, I do have your donated suspension ear. Ospo'd, primered and coated with Rustoleum on the back side hole. |
