I made the mistake of pulling the front end to find out why the right front tire was rubbing. Found the core support swayed a bit. Then while I'm at at it dealt it's blow. The good news is I only found two tiny little rust holes in the front door so far :naug

So how did pulling the front end reveal holes in the door? I take it it was the other side that you just re-skinned?

That was the Boss I was skinnin. Different project, Pay attention :bash

Pulling the front end did not reveal holes in the door. Pulling the front end led to pulling the doors to patch the little holes and then while i'm at it led to the quarters and now it's gonna get completely done and painted.

I was just gonna line up the front better so I could drive it.

You're right....I'm sorry. All them fastbasketcases look alike. Humble apologies.

Aggravating to find holes, eh? No doubt you'll fix 'em up right and move on. And at least you found your body alignment problems. Mid has a 1/2" offset somewhere in the front frame, but without a frame alignment setup, I was unable to see why. I could still fasten all the panels together and let the suspension handle the slight offset.

Black Jade with gold mach stripes and blacked out hood. Just like it left San Jose May 13, 1969.
Only the body will be straighter, the paint will be shinier, and the gaps will be exquisite.
