Once the doors are hung and alignment is looking good we Locked them in place with a couple tabs. Now itβs time to tackle the inner rocker panels as well as the outer rocker skins, and lower fender panels

Lots of interior areas that needed attention but now we are off to a good start on the exterior skins. Using the laser level to assure alignment as we go.

My boy is getting rid of all the bad spots on the back side of the heater channels
He also handled the package tray and some other areas. This project is moving along at a very nice pace.
