nerfbat Posted December 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 bonnet catch with the mount bolts sheared off, these were ziptied to the body, and made it near impossible to shut the bonnet fully(all the dents on the top of the bonnet attest to) drilled through the old bolts, easy out and replacement bolts sourced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nerfbat Posted December 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 this shows Trevs amazing skill here, imho driver's inside rear window, where the rust had come right through and the outside plates shaped to the body lines filled the holes where the chrome strips mounted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerfbat Posted December 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 initial shaping with filler it was at this point, we sorta did something a little different decided to remove the rear black vent covers altogether, fill the holes and make it a smooth pillar ran out of light to do much more. plans after Xmas stuff, are to finish these bits, and paint in my 'fire engine red' that i have left of, til i can afford the proper match thanks again Trev..! happy Xmas ya'all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
