Right now I'm removing the firewall from my new front clip
On my way to put it back to my new body
I started to list all the sub task, and if you don't mind I'd like to share my plan with you... Ok that's just a long list of question...:noob:
here we go:
-Pull up the body one last time
-Level the frame at the body mounts, which one, #2 and #3? I'm thinking about a water level system, with transparent flexible tubes connected to a tank. What do you think?
-Redrop the body and find out the shimming, I heard about the play-doo technique to determine shims size, is that the right way?
-Fix the body once for good.
-Reinstall the doors to make good 1/8" rear gap. I haven't restored them yet planned to do so later. was wondering if doing it after could screw the initial measurements.
-Then put the front clip. I guess having a nice 1/8" front door gap is not the only goal to achieve, you also need to align it in a way or an other to the body, right? How?
-Ken for ken's corvette part advised me to put the front clip back in one piece, with still the bumper assembly and the cover attached. Said it would help for alignment. I guess it makes sense, but significant extra weight will make things harder (Michel, your hoist!
hone
, what's your take?
Dunno if packing all the question together is the best thing to do... but I did it that way.
