Body Prep Continues

Dave Folk says we are getting too far ahead of him as we prepare body sections for filler and paint.  Good problem to have!

Usual participants on 5/26 - Ray, Clay, Dave M, Dave F, Al, and Vince.  We temporarily installed the passenger side fender so Dave F can weld the lower replacement panel into correct position.  And did more prep work.  Coming along well.

Vince installing those nasty bolts on the backside of the fender under the dash

Dave F continuing to do bodywork while Al and Dave M have some kind of serious discussion in the background

Dave F again doing bodywork.  He's got a nice selection of neat tools for bodywork, Clay particularly enjoyed playing with his plasma cutter to prepare the passenger side fender adder panel.

Body work is progressing and Dave Folk welded a bar on the backside of the" crack of doom" and then welded the crack. This should be a great fix for a common problem.
