    Door Interfaces with Body ... Mk 4

    Thanks for the comments ...

    I am struggling a bit on how to finish off the intersection between the tops of the doors and the body front and rear.





    What did you do here?

    Thanks,

    Body Work Continues ... Doors Again Again and Again

    Taking the advice from Jeff K ...

    I needed to do some more filling in (I chose to use HSRF) to get the gaps down from Grand Canyon size to something more reasonable. The journey has started but sometimes I feel like am in a tunnel, can see the light in the tunnel ... but I am not sure it is a train headed my way.

    Here are few photos of the journey so far ...

    The starting point DS rear interface with the body ...



    Starting to build up the interface ...

    Building up the back of the door panel with HSRF ... this stuff is hard to sand if you let it fully cure. I found it easier to wait until it turned and then knocked off the big stuff first and then sanded quickly there after.



    Here is a view from the top ...



    I have made it this far in the effort ...



    If I have time tomorrow I will get back into the Rage Gold (assuming that is the right thing to do) to the final form smoothed and more sand paper to get the gaps right.

    Any helpful hints would be gratefully appreciated.

    Carl
