Would the rear fenders be first or last ( or where )? >>
Robert:
On the '67 I am working on, I did the kick panels, then the sills--the
finished kick panels gave me a good backing for the sills, and the finished
sills gave me a solid backing to which to attach the floorboards, which came
next. Then the a-posts. Remember to take measurements of your door openings
and to brace them by either welding a bar across the opening or wedging a
spacer in the door opening. They will intend to close up a mite without
bracing.
I am now working on the rear fenders, inner and outer--I figure since they
are not structrual in nature they should be last, and will finish with the
right a-post, which only needs the lower 4-5 inches. Then the little bits,
like a piece with a captured nut to weld into the crossbar for the steering
rack to bolt to, a tear in the trunk floor, etc. Seems I will die with this
project ongoing, but it IS slowly ongoing. LOL
