John Moore's Journal

It's almost a year to the date, I started taking my B apart to get a paint job! Little did I know at that time, the odyssey before me! Well today I finished aligning the doors and other panels. The gaps aren't perfect, but OK considering how much welding I did. The RH door was a major bear, like the fender on that side, I had a good bit of trouble. Good thing I don't have to look at that side when I get in and out of the car! I'm sure it will drive me crazy whenever I look at it... Oh well... I'll know how to do it next time! Oh did I say 'next time'.... NOT!

The next step will be to polish the windshield frame. I want to strip the anodizing and give it a mirror like finish. I've got new glass and new rubber from Mac Gregors. I also went the the fabric store today and bought some new vinyl to go between the windshield and new dash. To strip the WS frame I plan on using wet sand paper and then steel wool. I've heard others have used oven cleaner but I'm concerned about damaging the aluminum.

I'll post some before and after shots.
