OH and re coat the center C/F panel after that water sand and buff out.

one thing after other
 a I had to extend my shifter linkage rod 2" ( that sucker is like 6' long)  . took an hour  to remove . over the axle shaft ,under the Headers, between chassis and plumbing and remove dash since the rod can be pulled only forward ) was mounted not in right place. Jim D will pop by for final tuning .

[eddie]

also dash was out of shape need it cut and patch up . darn KIT CARS

[eddie]

did some body fitment and installed MM Brazil  C/F mirror
 body is  out tune

This is what I was referring to, and Disregard the push button installation, it's no longer attached to the skin as shown.

they where made by Leon in C/F and they do have a threaded inserts
 so i made a bracket  out of fiberglass and glassed it in.   now drill out and bolt on 

[lambo_sam]

Hi eddie, no dont glass it to the skin, if they are oem, there are 2 post on the bottom with threded inserts for bolts, fabricate some L brackets with a hole drilled in and glass those to the skin when positioned the way you want it, allow glass to cure and you can bolt grab handles down.

[eddie]

did not do much today,but spayed black in side door shell, wire loom , and install side glass.
 question how do you install the grab handle ? glass it to the skin ? that's next and if I run out of liquids maybe try to fit the mirror . then I can bond the door skin together  , so I hope by Labor weekend I'll turn the car around and work on right side.   
Ill be back
