Rear Fenders & body clean-up

Over the past couple month, as I've been settling in the new house and setting up the garage, Chris and Ron have been cranking along on the body. Prior to Christmas, Ron was finishing up fitting the left rear fender. Here's Ron zipping off the old left rear fender.

In fitting the new rear fenders, Ron did not want to disturb the gas door, so fitted the new fender around the the gas door.

Here's the fender with the midyear bonding strip in place, and the old fender nearly fitted up for the new flared fender.

While Ron was working this, Chris was working the front end of the car. Passenger side needed quite a bit of vette bond and glaze to clean things up, along with a bit of fiberglass work.

More glaze cleaning up the passenger front fender.

Lower fender caught a cone below the cove at one point autocrossing.

Here's the cove repaired and awaiting the vette bond to be sanded out.

The shop is taking time to make sure all the bolt-on parts such as headlight buckets align well with the fiberglass. Here Vette bond is being used to build up the headlight ring to get a nice transition across the seam.

The media blaster blew some holes in the driver's door jamb that needed to be repaired.

Here's the jamb after clean-up.
