Well I've had to have a bit of time off so I thought I'd just chuck a few last pics in here to round out the thread.
The owner supplied some Hotchkis bonnet pins that he wanted fitted. I'm not a fan of bonnet pins but these ones seem to be very high quality.
Next job was to build steel caps for the doors. This is how it was originally.
Here's one of the new door tops sitting in place.
I've made it curl down at the front to meet up with the dash a bit better, although I will have to notch it out a bit so it doesn't hit the dash when the door closes.
I've also been told to fill in the step area where the pinch weld goes.
The door panels are now welded on. The door card can just go up inside this new door top.
Here's the scalloped section I made for the front to clear the dash.
Once the doors were done I was able to reprime the whole car for the last time.
I still love the profile of this bonnet.
The underside got a good clean as well and a few coats of underbody deadener.
I didn't bring the underbody goo onto the flat part of the firewall, but it does cover the lower part. I really like the new firewall.
And here it is waiting to get picked up.
The owner picked it up and took it away, but not before giving it a good wrap with plastic as this was early January when we were getting heaps of rain.
So that's it : )
