With the doors, hood, trunk lid, and now the fenders attached, it's really
starting to look like a car again. Although the fenders will not be fully
attached until after the car is painted, they need to be loosely hung on the
car during the body work phase to make sure everything lines up correctly.
The same process we observed for the body tub now takes place on the
doors and fenders. Low spots are filled in, the panel is sanded down,
and the process is repeated until there are no low or high spots.
Pencil marks on the door and "dogleg" of the rear fender
show areas that will need to be addressed.
Although the driver's side door had to be replaced
(remember what it looked like?)
the passenger's door is original, and is being finished off here.
History:
