When removing rusted rocker panels, the door thresholds, you expect to see a tremendous amount of damage to the frame beneath. Not the case with this car. There was minimal damage to the structure as you can see in the photo to the right and below.
Given, there will be some repairs required to restore the structure, but they are minimal.
Patch panels for the inner fender outrigger were fabricated and installed with panel bond, an extremely strong adhesive. Clamps are used to hold the new panels in place until the adhesive cures. The edges will be tack welded to duplicate the original installation.
Tomorrow, Paxton will be welding the fender repair panels, latch panels and rocker panels in place. Hopefully, the welding on both sides of the car will be completed by the end of the day...in a perfect world.
Love this car...
