I've done the other side of that panel recently, put the hinge mounts and vents back in. Arse of a job, isn't it!  you can say that again! i welded it on the bottom first, then bended it inward to get primer to the welded area inside, bended it back and then did the lip. nice job on the vents. |

at first i thought i can save the passenger side heaterchanel, but it turned out to be more work than it was worth. so i welded in the bars to keep everything aligned and started to cut out the chanel
stay tuned

Looking good, and moving quicker than my 67 project. Out of interest I don't suppose you still have the heater channel vent from the driver side do you? If so would you sell it? I have the sliding door part etc just need an original vent for behind it. Cheers Alex

both cut out heater chanels are still in the trailer (to be hauled to the trash), i can take a look. but i think the drivers side vent crumbled because it was rusted apart on the bottom. the passenger side one is fine, you can have that. maybe it can be used on the left side? i, on the other hand, am missing the sliding part on the drivers side.

Hi Karl if you have either side that would be great I'm sure I can work something out so it fits  I may have a spare door at the workshop my car is at unfortunately I won't be there again for a week or two now but if I find it your more than welcome to it. Cheers Alex |

the lower framhead and the napoleon hat will be replaced too.
if you need the replace the latter be very carefull that the stamping of the repairpiece has the same height as stock, or else the body wont fit (thanx for telling me that, Alfred!). i will only use the lower part and keep the stock upper curvature

pretty happy with the paintjob.
cant say that for the pan, the framehead is in catastrophic shape. dont want to use one of the aftermarket units, only bad things are heard of these...

no bug-in for me, just too far to drive and i´m not sure the car will be finished more work done on the framehead. i replaced the lower 10cm with a donour piece (thanx again, Alfred). with the beam bolted up to the upper part you can get the lower part dead-on without any danger of misalignement. careful fitting is in order to line everything up nontheless |
