Re: 55 Wagon Progress

Today Kyle worked on another paint fixture for the wagon, one to hold the front fenders, while I started on adding the weatherstrip and drain holes in the bottom of the driver's door. I had made new bottoms and hadn't gotten around to these holes just yet. I did save the old bottoms to use as patterns.





The old was merely laid over the new and traced to get the horizontal alignment of the drain holes and weatherstrip holes. Then a more accurate measurement located the vertical dimension of the drain holes...








After drilling, a couple of twirls by hand of a 3/8 bit worked nicely to de-bur the holes, inside and out..





The end of the old section was cut out and trimmed to be able to use it as a scribing template..











Using our same Dremel set up from the top slots.....














Kyle is getting the hang of this welding stuff.....














While he started media blasting the core support, I finished up the passenger door's "un-chop"











Outside done, now for the inside piece...











Fitted:








And that will do it for today....
