It is so exciting watching this car come together. As I posted the other day, I had fabricated the necessary patch panels for the installation of the driver's door latch panel. If you recall, the driver's side had sustained minor collision damage which had not been repaired properly making alignment of the door, fenders and rocker a bit time consuming. As shown in the photo to the right, the patch panel I fabricated to repair the door sill box frame was installed this afternoon.
Paxton also installed a small patch panel to repair a small area that had rusted through. Now the wheel house is solid, rust free and ready for primer.
Next, we fitted the patch panel required to mount the door latch panel. It is imperative that this panel be aligned perfectly. It locates the door latch assembly which will not operate properly unless it is mounted correctly.
Here we are concerned with fractions of a millimeter.
By the close of business tomorrow, the driver's side will probably be repaired. Check with us tomorrow.
I love my work,
Tom McCurry
