Doors and fenders are closely aligned after a lot of massaging. Just need put the hood on and then I can start on the final gap alignment.
Thanks
Pat

After a few small modifications to both front fenders I installed the front valance and the hood. The trunk lid is next and then I'll start fine-tuning all the gaps.
Thanks
Pat

Your attention to detail and skills are impressive. This thread is motivation for me to finally start on my 69 charger project.

Welded and filed the drivers door gaps. I set the sides at 5/32" leaving room for primer, sealer, base coat, and clearcoat. I had to weld a rod across the bottom of the door to close up the large factory gap that varied between 5/16" and 21/64. Now the bottom of the door is a consistent 7/32. Next up is the passenger door.
Thanks
Pat

Pat - what kind of rod is that and how did you weld it (TIG or MIG)? TIG rod?

Passenger door gaps took a little more work. I had to add metal rod along the bottom edge and 1/2 of the front edge.
Thanks
Pat

Amazing work Pat!
Thank you so much for sharing your hard work!
It gives guys like me incentive to keep working on our projects!

The rod you used (ER 70S-3), Is this the same as the mig wire you are using?
Not sure if it matters?
Don

Larry, All Mig welding. I'm still in the practicing stages of Tig welding. Tig welding is sort of like playing drums, you use your hands and feet and when it's done right you make a cool sound. Right now my Tig welding sounds like a monkey playing the bongos ;-)
Thanks
Pat

Don,
Yes, same type of wire I use in my Mig welder, just a lot smaller.
Thank you
