Wow, that left quarter looks a lot worse than in the CL add, do your doors roll out on top at the rear edge? Mine roll out bad, thinking of seeing what Don wants for a det of his.

Started working the repairs...

I had to remove some of the previous repairs:



The damage looked pretty bad here. I was thinking that maybe I should have asked Rob to make me a new fender:


Stitched back together. I used steel banding strips and self-tap screws to hold it together.


All glued back together:


Back of fender of the fender had damage, too. Here it is stitched back together. I did it different, by backing the fender with old fiberglass pieces and screwing it together.


More work to follow today (I hope).

Looking good! Can't wait to see the progress.

Thanx Will. Thanx Steve...

Continued with the fender repair and made some design decisions.

Like the 355 (and later), I felt the rear panel needs to be separate. Also, to aid in removing the fenders for just such a repair. So...



To get at the back side of the fender




(Much easier to handle with one person, too.


Question for Mera, 308/328 clones and Stinger bodies: Does the hood normally sit so high above the rear fender line?


No wonder the window gets small. I'm thinking of ways to drop the hood more even with the tops of the fenders. Thoughts? Am I nuts?

Nice to watch the magic begin. Nice tweeks. Your glasswork looks real good.
