5:30 to 11:30pm on Friday

Fred ('47WeeWind) brought his '64 GT over after work on Friday and we got it settled into Maxwell's spot while Maxwell is vacationing over at 'Coloradobus's' house. Fred wanted to replace the entire 3'x9' street side panel because there was a big gash (cleverly disguised with threshold strips) and an abandoned hole for the heater.

1) Fred starting to strip off the baggage compartment, lights, water heater cover
2) Drilling out "the first rivet"
3) Dueling rivet drilling
4) The panel is off
5) Cleaning up the old panel
6) The old panel laid out on a 10'x4'x3/4" plywood sheet, being used as a template to drill the holes in the new panel. We drilled right into the wood and used clecos to hold in place.
7) The old panel back in place for the night...good thing, it rained!
