Aaron's 76 Type LT Project

2 minute(s) of a 383 minute read

So I did what I mentioned in my previous post and was able to get the door gap a nice consistent 1/4" (slightly over 1/4" in most spots). Any variations are from the sheet metal as the top, middle and bottom gaps are all the same. The door to rocker gap is consistent too, right around 3/16". I took a ton of measurements and pics, so think it's time to start taking the old 1/4 off. Wish me luck!!

I got a good chunk of the 1/4 removed before I ran out of cutting discs

THE EVIDENCE

Worked on removing the 1/4 panel some more today. That spot weld cutter is worth every penny. Only a little more to go and then I can work on replacing the trunk drop down and then strip and refinish the other metal.



In the below pic, how is the 1/4 panel held in place between the rocker panel and inner brace? Are there spot welds there?



Are there spot welds securing this part of the 1/4 (the triangular area)?
