2nd coming of the Comanche,.....


Recommended Posts

 

 

Well after some measurements today I realize I have made a grave error and the whole panel is coming out again, I didn't allow for the cab corner to slightly protrude the box, so the lines are all off so can you say re-do? Now to find another cab side,.. :(

Well when I spiced the new panel in my gap seemed ok but it was a few millimeters out so now the body lines don't match up,... thank god for PYP Scores!

 

Well the good score saved me a lot of work! (and I have spares for the next project ;)

 

 

new (to me ) box side :),.. started on it separated it and working on the 3 dents to has and some surface rust repair.

 

 

 

Now for the last time,...

 

This gets cut off and replaced,.. without cutting corners (pun intended)

 

 

and this gets changed with the new one. I will be holding onto this one just in case
