I am getting ready to spend some time working on the fiberglass nose and hood on the mustang. After reading some of the earlier tips, I figured on making certain that the doors are in the right position before I finalize the front fenders, gapping them and lining them up.
This is where I ran into trouble. I thought that all I would be doing was adjusting the hinges slightly. instead I have many hours of work. The body shop where I had the metal welded was pretty shoody in the last bit of work done on the car. The repop doors were troublesome, but what he did was simply hammer the edges of the doors to line up with the adjacent panels, be it quarters, fenders or rockers.
So I ran my hand along the gaps and edges to feel the gaps and panel alignment.. all I feel is bumps and lumps along the door edges
So tomorrow night I am going to bring some straight edges to see where the doors were messed up. I just don't know where to start now
I am determined to make this right... but it pisses me off that I spent all this money, and he would have been better off leaving the doors alone, for me. instead he folded or bent the last 1" of the door to achieve a panel match.
So any suggestions, where to start making this right?
