|
Hello folks,
I'm fixing 1952 Bus and looks like I will need quite a lot help in the future so I decided to start this topic.
So first question is what is the right position of the b-pilar closing panel related to the cabin separation panel. Does it go to the front wheel side or the cabin side and what kind of profile there should be in the separation panel attachment to the b-pilar or is there something wrong with my b-pilar because of the cap between pilar and separation panel?

Figured out that my front have a moved a bit when the frame was cutted so I think after fixing that the cap will get closed. |

After little twisting the cap is gone and now its clear how the b-pilar repair panel will fit it's place. Tested also roughly door and dogleg.

I have owned this bus around 10 years and finally have some time to fix it. My intention is just to get the bus running with some small chassis modifications. I am not doing any full resto or nothing like that. The paint can drop off by itself |
