Hi all, My RF needs some glass work and I read the post bodywork which helps me a great deal, thanks to all that contributed.
I need to add over a half inch to my right door as you can see by the pictures. The gap at one point is .70 of an inch and .60 wide consistantly. I was thinking of roughing the underside of the door lip up, Laying a sheet of thin lexan on top of the door to form a mold ,and apply layers of glass cloth to build the area out. Then flip back over do a little grinding again, add some more cloth so that the door is "sandwiched " by the new cloth . Am I going overboard ? I feel this could be a sensitive area, as if passengers might hit or grab sometime, and I need to make it as strong as possible.
The R/H door "fell in the hole " as it came from RF . I will have to add major glass and filler in many areas. The left door would not even go in the opening and I had to trim till it went in(which is great). Reading other posts on RF's body and how some buyers just had to "do a little grinding and sanding" to get the gaps fit,frankly frustrates the crap out of me. Let me know how you would attack this. Thanks, Dan /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
