Also any pictures on how you reworked the door shells to fit your new skins would be very interesting. Thanks.
On the first build i did not use any of the inner structure of the vette doors. They were framed in aluminum also.
On this one i will. I mechanically fasten the aluminum panels to the birdcage/fiberglass etc. Lots of little brackets etc.......and being creative.
Today i wire framed in the rear arch and posterboarded it. Next i will marry the front and rear together. Ray
