I have now attended the Hershey Porsche show three times without an operational teener...NOT being part of the caravan is getting old. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
Finally got my new inner long welded in with doubler plates on all seams. Verified the incline of the new long with an incline gauge (with the car level) following Jeff Hails build thread. Door operates well! Entire inner long has been coated with rust encapsulator. Still have a long way to go but I am hoping that this was the toughest part. Thanks to Scotty B, Jeff Hail, and everyone else who has posted a build thread on this topic. I have read all of them & learned a lot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Bob  |
