Default Re: More Chevelle updates

Plodding right along...

Body guy was hard at work when we arrived today having just <span style="font-weight: bold">RE</span>-straightened the front of the frame that was <span style="font-style: italic">supposed to be </span> repaired a couple of years ago. The issue was revealed when he attempted to start aligning the fenders and doors and they wouldn't come in line. I noticed this issue when I put the nose of the car on myself but figured it was due to my non-expertise as a body and fender guy.

After a couple of hours of tugging, bending and pulling, the frame is now back where it's supposed to be and the fenders are lining up where they're supposed to be.



The door lines are coming in quite nicely.











Turning our attention back to the passenger side for a moment, compare the alignment now to the pics in the post above pre-re-frame-tweaking: (the fenders are still loose here so the lines aren't exactly where they're supposed to be just yet)







Body guy #1 and #2 in conference discussing the alignment of the lower drivers side fender to the rocker panel. (flattering view, isn't it?...sorry guys)



Inching forward with the progress one day at a time.

More later.
