Gentlemen,
It has been a while since posting the "skeleton" of my 59 BN4 100/6. I have repaired all the bad parts, have the engine and trans rebuilt and most of the panel work complete. A previous owner had "modified" the inside flanges of the front wings at the doors, probably during the cars racing years, for quick removal/install. My question is: does anyone have a picture of the inside wing near the door jamb so that I can get this area back to a close as possible? some of the flanges are there so I have an idea of what is should be at the top. again, 59 100/6 BN4. Thanks very much for any help. I will be happy to get the metal work finished and start putting back together. It has been 2 years of any free time just to get this far.

Regards,

Doug
 
Here is a shot I have. Hope it helps

thanks guys. I am looking for a picture of the flange of the actual wing (fender) on the side of the door. Maybe I am using the wrong term, however, it is the inside of the wing that wraps around the piece shown in the last pic. Shown by Duane (thanks Duane) By the door hinges. I have part of this still on the wings but it looks like some of this "flange" was cut off to remove the wings quickly without door removal. Thanks

Yes there is another flange above the top hinge. It has two sheet metal screws to secure it. You can just see one of the screws in my picture near the old rubber seal. In Duane's picture you can see the spacing of the upper flange screw holes. His car obviously has had two different front fenders mounted before because there are multiple holes in the same area.

Thanks guys!

Wow Greg, mine does not look anything like the picture you sent. I may have to do some more work on it.

thanks again

Doug
