I'll do more but I took measurements before taking things down and rechecked them after this. so far so good. Reinstalling the doors is probably the best thing to do, thanks.
Made some rocker progress this weekend, then ran out of mig wire so I couldn't brace the door jambs (which I should have done before starting....).
The part where the rocker passes under the jamb is proving to be a challenge. The rest is ready to drop.
Quick question for those in the know... On the hinge panels, both sides, there is a "divet" about 2/3 from the bottom. It seems like it could be a reference point checking position but I can't find any info about it. Anyone know what they are for?
I'm not in a state from which I need to relax. I asked if anyone has seen him and explained I understand things happen and sometimes life gets in the way. Not sure why I need to repeat that.
I looked him up before making the purchase and yeah i agree he's legit but going dark after taking money...
That's what I'm hoping but responding promptly until you get my money, then going dark and ignoring all communication is an odd way to do business. It takes a minute to post a quick note saying, "got the payment, I'll ship it out soon".
it's not much to ask for.
Quick edit to say he reached out and let me know what's going on. All is well, thanks for getting back to me Bob.
I purchased some wing brackets from @BOBSCARS (well I paid for them) and haven't heard from him since. That was last Thursday and he seems to be ignoring me. Now I'm the first one...
Made some progress again this weekend. Most of my time was taken up working on our engine run stand with my son but I started peeling the outer rocker away. The more I get into this, the more I am learning how these things were assembled and what it's going to take to fix.
Question for the experts.
What would be the best way to replace the rocker/hinge panel/inner cowl for the first steps.
My thought process is...
1. Peel away the outer rocker (bottom of the hinge panel is rusted away to there shouldn't be a clearance issue).
2. Remove and examine the internal...
Made some progress over the last few days, including opening up the quarters, removing the upper cowl, bracing the rockers to the jig and supporting the windshield frame to prevent any movement while working on the rockers and hinge area.
Next up I'm thinking about cutting the front frame...
Thank you both very much, any pictures will help for sure. I've collected a ton so far but nothing up close. So far it looks like that area is made up of at least two different parts and possibly more. Sometimes ya look at these things and think "What the F*** were they thinking...."....
