This was a good way to locate and drill the holes in the passenger door for the side mirror. The doors already have a welded in nut plate but the skin of the door is covering it, leaving it hard to know where exactly to drill the holes.

I made a tip on a bolt and screwed it in from inside the door (the back of the nut plate) untill it slightly pushed up on the skin then with some black paint spraid over the area, when I lightly sanded the area, it left whitness marks in the exact place to drill.

After I removed the bolt, I used a punch to make a mark to guide the drill bit, then I drilled a small pilot hole. Then I screwed a regular bolt in from the underside to act as a stop so the drill would not go to far and cut into the threads in the nut plate. Then I drilled the holes to the correct size.

Once again you have come through. This only drives home the point even more, my six is where it needs to be. In your capable hands. Thanks for the attention to detail, and your efforts to make the car a "noxcus6." Weld on!

Interesting. The seam seal around my plugs seems to be a more spackled texture rather than "swirled finger", but mine is a '75. Did they change technique between the early and late cars?

Yes actualy. Early 1970 cars were brushed on and somewhere in there they started sraying it on. There must have been a period of time when they smeared/brushed in the sealer on the body plugs but sprayed in the sealer on other areas around the car. In later cars, I think it was all sprayed on.

Someone else might have more to add to this.

I'm putting Jim's car (this car) back to what it was and so I'm doing the brush, smear in sealer to keep with the proper look.

Yes actualy. Early 1970 cars were brushed on and somewhere in there they started blowing/sraying it on. Andy's car was blown/spraid on and also my 6 which has a build date of 05/70. Someone else might have more to add to this.

It's that kind of attention to detail that puts a car like this over the top. The quality of you work is incredible!

Dave, Dave, Dave. Contrary to your badgering me about the color blue, it will remain the most excellent color tangerine that the factory intended. Now, go back to your Mom's basement and breathe carbon monoxide fron her broken water heater. And, continue to be a mouth breather.

Can't have enough blue (CHEB). Just because of those mean comments about my mother and me, I hope when Earl Sheib paints the Orangarine color it has runs and lots of orange peel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/KMA.gif)

I didn't mean to insult your Mom. I'm glad you finally found her. I know that ever since she was fired from the carnival, she's been a little depressed. Sorry about that Mrs. Carney.

Saw my car today. Final block sanding done, and paint soon to follow. Kent kicked ass on welding up the rusted and thrashed dash panel. Painted to factory specs with the chassis number inscribed. The tangerine orange is bright and bad ass. Kent is also going to straighten the front and rear valances as well. Tons of work done and still more to go. More progress pictures will be posted when Kent isn't performing his metallurgic madness. He is the metal master. Thanks for all your time and effort Kent
