BODYWORK CONTINUES...FITTING PANELS


After removing the remainder of the chrome trim, we are ready to begin aligning the body panels.  The entire front clip seems to be in excellent condition.  The panels are very straight and the alignment of the front valence and fenders is almost perfect.










However, in an effort to refine the alignment of the drivers door and the rear shroud, additional grinding was done.  The body line running from the door to the shroud had been repaired previously.  In order to properly align the panels, we must first remove all the plastic filler from the door panel and rear shroud.  The actual metal will be "adjusted" and a minimal amount of filler applied to recreate the original body line.  A bit time-consuming, but necessary.  We want the new black finish on the TR3 to be flawless.
