Jeremy Turner’s Work Continues

Rocker Panel – Jeremy needed to do a little work on the rocker panels to get them looking just right. Then he fit the right rear fender so that the swage line would be properly aligned.

Since the tabs for the wiring harness in the boot were not installed with the new panels, Jeremy welded two in for me. Then he moved to the front right wing to get the bottom of the wing and shroud to align properly.

The left rear fender did not have enough of a lip on it to fasten the wing to the shroud so Jeremy welded in a little more material. He then spent a little time working out a few dents in the NEW wings! Following that he lined up the left door and the left rear wing swage line and moved to the left front wing to line up the shroud and wing at the front.

The rocker panel on the right side needed some work at the front edge as well. Then Jeremy was able to epoxy prime all the wings.

Although the doors had been epoxy primed some time ago, jeremy wanted to take the bottom of the doors apart to get rid of any rust at the bottom of the doors. 

Jeremy then turned to bodywork with polyester filler. First was the boot lid.

Then came the bonnet.

Back to the doors for filler and then primer.

Then some more bodywork before priming again.
