I have not been able to work on the car too much lately, I usually have Tuesday and Thursday off, but have been too busy at work to take the days off. I still have been trying to work for a couple of hours per night to move things along.
I have reinstalled the trunk lid so I can make the edges flush. The back edge varies form being flush to being depressed by about 1/16". I applied several coats of Rage to build the edge even.
The edge is nice and flush now.
This is still a work in progress. I still need to sand entire lid smooth and apply a very thin final coat of Rage Extreme over the entire deck lid, followed by one final sanding.
My Rivera Cornering lights came in. They look like they should work. They are a little bigger than the Pontiac lights, but not that much bigger. I made a template out of card stock to mark the hole for the lights.
It took me several attempts and about 30 minutes to make this pattern.
It fits real tight and will provide a good pattern for the new hole.
I started on the driver door to fender gap problems. My original alignment compromised the gap at the top of the door to get the panel alignment better in the middle. Since I going to use filler to address the middle of the door problem, I readjusted the door so than the alignment was flush at the top of the door. This made the gap much better, however the middle of the door is now depressed by about 1/16 instead of 1/32".
The bottom of the door however is still bad. The contour on the fender patch simply does not match the door.
Since this requires around 3/16" of filling at the deepest point, I'm using "All Metal" to do the initial filling.
This is the first coat.
I used a total of three coats to get to this point. This is close enough to do the final filler work with Rage Extreme.
