We had a major set back. Brian lined up the doors but when he went to line up the fenders and hood he found a major problem. A former employee welded the front end on wrong even though he measured and remeasured before welding. There was very little gap on the left door and a large gap on the right side so the front end had to be cut off. After working on this about two weeks at my expense Brian is satisfied with how it lines up and we should be able to start charging the customer again early next week.

The repair is finished and a little epoxy was brushed on to stop the surface rust on the weld
