    Looks great, definitely do all fitting prior to paint. I wasn't confident at the time and regret not going through the process, I left it up to the painter and they did all the fitting and body work.

    Back to your post from July last year, did you end up putting the Fitech O2 sensor in the header, if you could post a pick please do. How do you like the system? I'm thinking about switching over to EFI maybe next year and am looking at MSD and Fitech.

    Hi Jacob,

    I think the windshield should go in prior adjusting the door. It can affect the door overall fitment. I am fitting the body as well now.

    If you look real close on my #56 post on the left you can see where the sensor is on the header. I can get you a better pic. I put the O2 sensor on the header per Gordon Levy,s recommendation. My experience so far with Fitech has been limited to go carts around the neighborhood and infrequent starts, but so far it starts and runs! Based on what I read , some fine tuning / adjustments will be needed after 3-400 Miles.

    Yes I’ve heard that too, and also read where the body should not touch either of the posts? So many horror stories on the windshield, makes me reluctant to touch it...even though I know it’s got to be dealt with!

    That is correct, no touching. Plus, you may need some shims for brackets and frames. They may not lined up, you certainly don't want to create any pressure point there.

    My least favorite part, it requires two people and you don't know if you have a problem until it cracks

    I have an assortment of shims and plan on following Edwardb’s method of tapping with 1/2” thread and shimming...plus not letting the body contact the posts...after that?

    You should be good to go. You may need to keep in mind the angle/distance, if you plan on doing a soft top. I recall something like 27" measured from front top of the windshield screw to end of the door panel. Either ways, it would be a good practice.

    Since I installed the IRS by myself, figured I’d go ahead and mount the windshield. Passenger side required more shims than the driver side? Normal? Anyway everything has been assembled and taken off. Installed the mini bear claw latches and now starting to level up the areas around the doors.

    Yep...I’ve painted a few cars, but I’m real slow and deliberate. Always solid colors so I’m waffling between silver and white as primary colors? Besides if I paid the $$$ and got a scratch or chip I’d be sick!

    Almost have both doors where I’m comfortable with their fit. Probably how I fit the panels beneath both doors, but I’m not liking how much filler I’ve had to use to get the right levels between the door panels and the front and rear posts. Tried to follow the instructions where the pass side is pushed in and the driver side in at the post and out at the rear? Shooting for 3/16” for the gaps.

    This is my attempt to get the “curl” out of the rear corners of the hood....

    Got the door gaps, trunk gaps and hood gaps set. Hood scoop and hood cutout set. Plan to take the body off and get ready to start the primer filler stage (slick sand). Arrived at a center line. Had to apply pressure and heat to push down the curl on the ends of the hood. Quite a bit of work to this point! The pressure and heat so work!

    Took the body off after all the gaps have been set to 3/16”. Also after windshield set, side pipes, headlights,tail lights, hood scoop, basically all holes drilled so that I won’t be messing with a freshly painted body. Will spray slick sand next week.

    2 Gallons of Slick Sand on

    Didn’t have any issues getting the slick sand on, once I got a gun with a bigger nozzle (2.0). Think another gallon may be needed after block sanding? Sanded a small spot and it impressed me with how smooth the surface was!

    Currently sanding the slick sand with 150 grit. Plan to spray with one more gallon of reduced slick sand and use 240 grit prior to primer coats. None of this is done very quickly (obvious that painting is a long labor intensive process)!

    After 3rd gallon of slick sand (overkill I’m sure),sanded with 220 grit. This dry guide coat stuff is great, should anybody be curious?

    The warm weather and other obligations have slowed me a bit. The 2K primer has been sprayed and now I’ll sand this to 400, then 500 before paint. Color not yet decided?

    In the last stage of sanding before paint, wet sanding with 600 using a dry guide coat. This is good stuff. Seems like it amplifies the orange peel from the primer, but the surface is smooth as a baby’s butt. Just gently sand until all the low black areas disappear. Doors,trunk,hood and scoop done. Just lack sanding the body.

    Done with sanding prior to paint, block sanded 2x with 600, used guide coat powder. Plan from here is wait a few weeks for less humidity and cooler temps, then paint. Obviously haven’t worked on the body everyday but as a point of reference, body work started Dec 2017, with a bit of overkill stopped sanding yesterday!

    Started paint today. Painting doors, hood, trunk and scoop. Wimbledon white with Ford Lightning blue stripes. Pecking order puts the body in the garage while these parts are being painted.

    Happy with the stripes , unhappy with the orange peel in the clear (my fault for not better setting up the gun). Plan to let the clear cure for a few days and try to sand off most of the orange peel. No reason to pile up more clear so I stopped after the first coat. The horizontal panels are good?

    Feeling better after sanding to 3000 and polishing with rubbing compound, should be better after hitting with polishing compound! Sanding took out the orange peel, so for a shade tree painter I’m happy!

    Cutting and buffing continue, feeling pretty good, but it’s a slow process

    Sorta feel like I’m over hump now that the body and hood are buffed and polished!

    Moving day today! One year and about 10 days todo all the body work and painting! I only have room in my garage for either the body or the chassis, so while I’ve been doing the body work the chassis has been sitting idle. Mention this because I have the Fitech FI system and constantly hear the complaints...well it has sat for 12months...hit it with 2 prime shots and started immediately! Now I can install carpet and other interior stuff.

    Progress has been slow, mainly weather related (too cold for good contact cement to work), got the cockpit carpet in, installed the breeze seat plates, seats, seat belts, seat heaters. Body on is a week or two?

    Just about to finish the trunk. Trying to get all the things prior to putting the body on...hoping for the last time!

    Touchdown! Body is on...small issue but had I thought enough to make sure the defrost vent would clear the heater box....not a big deal but I’ll need to fabricate a plenum for the passenger side. Heads up for others! Move the defrost vents closer to the center!
