Nothing like a REDO, had to cut and adjust the outer door skin one more time. Looking at a bit more work before I can have the skin ready to bond to the inner door.

Hopefully get the skin bonded by the end of the week!

And then there are other days.....................

I'm sure that any other builder on this forum that is building a LP640 is extremely pleased with the help that you have posted during your redo.  Kudos to you.  Thanks

made an A piller

Made the various parts, CSM'd them together,  did some body work on it , made a mold.
 
Nothing beats a new part with gel coat!

Nothing like work to get in the way of progress on the REDO  ::)

back at it  after about 3 weeks.

Lots of fiddly issues in  mounting the the dash,  console, grab handle and the lower dash panel.  Fabricated some brackets, blah blah blah

If work doesn't get in the way, it will be on to the drivers side ::salute

I have to do the same thing to make the OE 6.0 bezel I have fit in the "OE 6.0 dash" that I have so I REALLY appreciate the detail in this one

Thanks!
