Hi folks,
I'm planning some body work and have a question about my front wings. I need to replace my driver's side panel from the chrome strip down. On the other side, the bottom 6-8 inches will be replaced. I will be removing both wings as part of some other minor body work (sill replacement /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif ) so when should I cut out the rusty sections and weld in the replacement panels? Do I replace the sills, then place the wing back on, gap everthing correctly, *then* cut out the rusty section and fit the replacement panel? Or start by cutting out and replacing the rusty section of the wing, then remove the wing, then the sill work? Seems to me this latter course would not allow the best fit with the new sill, right?
I also want to thoroughly strip and repaint the inner wheel well. I would expect that would be easier with the wing removed.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
