Well it's done...it's @ the paint shop now. The front end especially took a whole lot of finssing to make it fit right, these clips are made like crap the contours are not correct and because they are made from a mold pulled off a car the inside contours of the glass is all wrong a lot of it is too thick especially in the corners and the wrong shape. If you want to do this get a sermersheims front clip! Unless you are hotrodding something not to be meant to look stock.
Replacement headlight bucket, all wrong...but it does fit...somewhat
Woops won't close adjusted all the way forward. Time to break out the grinder and F up the mounting holes
Got the rear replacement panel smoothed out completely, took a lot of work.. doesn't fit properly either.
Took a lot of work on the hood hinges to get it like this. I cut them up and tig welded them back together and added material to be able to adjust the hood to the correct position.
I reworked all the gaps on this car this is as good as it's gonna get...
The holes for the door locks and handles were repaired also all had cracks and chunks missing
Ugly un-even gap between bucket and opening it's even worse than this pic shows if you open the bucket so the high line on it (the front edge if closed) lines up with the opening. The uckets ar also too short...or the front end si the wrong shape most likely since the factory bucket on the other side doesn't fit properly either. Furthermore there's a ton of glue and crap on the underside that I had to grind away or the buckets would not even open without hitting! Quality pieces!! ahum!
after a bunch of glassing, sanding and finessing this is how it's now. Lines all match, only needs a skim of filler and it'll be OK
goodbye..off you go!
