65 Valiant Convertible

I made some great progress over the weekend…put the hood on and found out my fender gaps were way off. I originally put on the doors, then fenders (aligned to doors) then front valence and finally hood…what I learned is that I should have kept everything loose because I had to take the fenders and valence back off once the hood was on to change up the thickness of the shims and readjust the doors as well. At the end of the day I got everything back on and I’m happy with the gaps all around!

Other miscellaneous stuff completed over the weekend was…painted the trunk, working on the heater box…my transmission pan had been leaking all along so pulled that off to straighten it out and replace gasket/filter, started putting the dashboard back together, etc. Lots of little stuff that takes up a lot of time!!
