Wow deja vu with the fender removal - not too many people willing to get into that madness (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif).

It is weird that must have changed how the striker plate mounts - mine was attached to the door jam itself where yours is attached to that bracket that is attached to the inner fender.

You can see my version of the right rear fender removal on my build thread
deja vu

I've been following your thread, truly inspiring. The last post currently, last picture in my thread I was thinking of you as I took it, Hontec. -I had to climb up a ladder and hold my camera up to the ceiling as I don't have a loft (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Powdercoating is really thick. Are you concerned about that added thickness affecting how your jigs fit? I would think plating would be preferable because of that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)




Problem solved: normally they blast, then coat a primer and then coat a color. For these kind of things they only blast and put on a very thin coat to keep it from rusting again.....

So minimal thickness added....

So, picked up work again today on the front right fender. When I started within the first few minutes I discovered that the fender had suffered an accident once upon a time and the fender was repaired by using bad welds and lots of bondo......
That thing is never getting back on, so decided to sacrifice it......

At first glance rust appeared again but with a bit of cleaning it was turned into perfect metal and not in need of repair...

Where did you get those wheels for the table?
Are they adjustable in very small degrees to level it on an uneven floor?

they are standard front wheels as used on trailers over here, they can be adjusted about 8 inches in height

nice! It looks relatively good in there. Mine was seriously nasty. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

link to pic (not for the faint of heart)

Any sort of plan on what metal you'll put back in there? ... I'm a bit stumped on that part myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

WOW, best hour I've spent in a long time.

Truley amazing work.

Based on the quality of your work, I'd fly to the North Pole in a Paper Airplane with you.

FYI - You don't have OCD, if you did it would be CDO - That's alphabetical.

Good Sir, you have re-defined insanity.

I completely approve. Amazing craftsmanship. Keep up the good work and the pics.

If you are married, your wife should be sainted for putting up with your new obsession.

Amazing stuff. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

Those pics of the fender-cowl area are the best I've seen. I've been struggling to figure out exactly how the pieces fit together there as I repair mine (I'll be using metal).
