BODYWORK CONTINUES

There is one more obstacle to be overcome before the patch panel can be set in place.  The driver's door latch post was pushed inboard during a collision some years ago.  In order to repair the damage properly, a hydraulic porta power must be used to gently reposition the post.  The latch panel itself has been heated and straightened.  However, it must be moved in an outboard direction approximately 3/8".
While attempting to move the panel, the ram section of our porta power ruptured.  It's annoying to say the least, but, things happen.  I purchased another one this morning so we will be good to go Monday morning.






Stay tuned...
