Papa's Retirement Type 65 Coupe Build - Index in first post

[Papa]

I spent a little more time on the radiator aluminum fitment after getting advice from a couple of fellow builders. First, I ground down some of the weld on the frame where the side panels were being pushed away from the frame.



After touching up the paint with SEM 39143 Trim Black paint, the panels lay nicely against the frame. Next up was removing some of the side panels that sits just below the frame. I'm going on faith that this is the right thing to do. It's a small modification that will hopefully prevent the need to aggressively trim the underside of the nose of the body to the extent that I've seen some require.





I also started to fit and drill the cockpit aluminum today.
