Default Re: Interest in new restoration project thread?

Made a bit more progress this past week. Ya laugh but here goes:
The trunk lid did not fit as well as I would like. It was in fact too close in many areas to the body. You can note in the photos some of my inked marks as to where I needed to cut the edges and where I needed to add to them. Now the lid fits beautifully.
Back fenders? I ended up cutting the flange that the attachment bolts go through in order to match the curve of the fenders with the curve of the body. Yes, the welt would conceal most of this mismatch but I'd know it was lurking. So, cutting the "flange" in a number of spots allowed me to move the fender around to where I was happy with it.
Yes guys... it is a sickness
