Re: DIE Bodyshop DIE

Subject: Re: DIE Bodyshop DIE

After welding & grinding the holes (not counting setting a blanket on fire that covered the radiator core support), the front of the nose had to be reglassed to bring it into dimension and to get the height equal on both sides.

All the putty had to be removed from the top of the nose and the sides of the bucket mounting plates. The body shop used putty to adjust the gaps between the body and the buckets AND still had them too large, they were over 1/4 inch and should be 1/8th. Plus they had the wrong radius in the corners AND they ground the buckets to match, the idiots.

So, reglass all the edges that surround the buckets. Very time consuming.

I've probably had the buckets in and out 25 times.
