Ok I cheated! I put the
Raamat sound deadener in
before I put the skin on the
shell
A peak at the sound
deadener through a large
hole in the shell.
Completed door on the
car, what a horrible fit!!!! I
will have many hours of
fitting, bending and
tweaking stuff till im happy!
This shot shows
some of the waves
in the door.
Hood's on.
After 6 hours (per door)
of prying bending and
welding....those
goodmark panels do fit!!!
Dash was taken out so
this area can be cleaned
up and sound deadened.
Plus I don't have to worry
about sparks or
overspray.
Nice straight lines, a lot of
work to get the head light
buckets to fit perfect.
After 3 plus days of fitting....It
came back apart in less than
10 minutes! Here is the hood
being striped and the big
block laying in the
background, ready for
machine work.
