Final fettling before new paint

The wheel arches on Bettie have now been tweaked after we decided we weren't happy with the gaps









The front has now been linished back to uncover some nasties


It's had a new top but it has been welded on just glued into place with filler, lets look for our surprised face not



The water ingress has coursed the bottom seam to rot out so we'l replace it



Measure the area you wish to replace and cut a piece of steel



Put a 90 degree fold in it



Work out how much curve you require



Stretch the metal accordingly


Check against body and mark



Cut out rot and clam in new piece not forgetting to linish and drill ready for lower spot welds



Spot into place



Weld in fully, being careful not to get too hot and distort the panel and then grind back;) go home eat cold tea, shower then back to work in a couple of hours. God bless Manflowers. Stay tuned for more rock and roll tomorrow xx
