Reply To: Is it still a project when I haven’t done anything yet

The body shop is finally doing the door skins! New pictures have been added to the Flickr account so have a look if you want. I was told that the new inner frame did not have enough of a flange along the bottom edge so a strip of metal was added there. Also, the upper edge of the skin did not match the crease in the original door so the original skin was cut about 1/2 inch below that and a flange was added with a pneumatic tool and the new skin was welded over top of that for a flush fit and then crimped along the outer edges. Some body filler will be needed but not a lot. Great work, I think. It took 2 days to do the one door but the body man said that the other doors should take less time since they now know just how to do it. The car should be done by April and then the interior. Once that’s done I’ll have a pretty nice BL!
