Steve's 55 - continuing the front sheet metal adjustments with tips

[@acewarren1957]

When I rebuilt my 283 in my 57 4 door sedan in high school the shop teacher had some small paper bags from napa and told me to bag the bolts from every part I was taking off and take a marker and label the bag of what it was. That was 1984. Was a good thing to learn

This is a really important video. Thank you so much for explaining how the shims are used correctly

Nice touch on the custom plate man

[@monadking2761]

I had both bolts break in that lower plate and spent hours getting it out, then drilled it and re-tapped it. Then I spent hours trying to get the correct bolts back it. My plate was dropping to low every time, too. I was able to tape it in place, then finally got the threads started, then pulled the tape out. It was a royal pain.

Great description of the hackery on the nut plate! You showed how you planned to reinstall the nut plate with the wire, how were you able to get it out from behind the A pillar? I'm working on my doors and am soaking up all of your descriptions, thanks much!

I saw fire when that bolt broke. I'm going through the same thing of correcting others mistakes.

Was wondering what opera or sail panel lights you used on your black hardtop. I have a 56 and their is round flat spots for them but don’t know if they need to be hollowed out to sit down or if they screw down on the flat spots
