Yesterday night I cut out the other side of the lower cowl piece.
In order to get around the hinge, I made a cut in the otherwise very fine piece, Victor made for me.
We made the piece to fit the bead, where the bonnet meets the cowl, and are cutting it there.
The cut was done with a air driven hacksaw, in order to get the cut as thin as possible. And then I made the mistake of cutting to close to the edge of the replacement piece, so the saw bended the cut off and I had to align it to the edge - instead I should have made the cut about 1/2 inch from the edge, cutting through both plates. I'll do that next time!
The doorpost is just as bad on the drivers side, so we're talking about spending a day fixing the bottom of those as well, now that I have gained acces.
So next week I'll either be doing the bottom of the doorposts or building more of the subframe.
At least, that's the plan - but as we all know, plans are made to be changed!
Keep 'em kruzin!
