Default Messy job.....

Hi Keith

Nasty job you got there...... no easy way to do it....... we removed skins from the door frames and it was a mess...... because of the samll job and wanting to save the door frame as much as possible we used old screwdrivers and the oxy torch....... welds were about every 5 to 6 inches and every now and then two one inch apart...... we would pry the skin off so far..... heat up the sheet metal to stretch it some more...... tna with a very sharp small chisel cut the welds... some we had to drill the centre of the weld.....

No short cut known......

In some cases we could see the spot weld better by rubbing with a sanding block... the spotwelds then become more visible..... there is a small spot weld drill bit tool available..... but they do not last long and would never survive the repeat use you would make on that large body.

What is the Dodge engine for....ballast????

Keep us up to date of your progress.
