Do check out Ryan's '79 Berlinetta score over on nastyz28.com, "project progress"!
More very soon! Todd.

Addendum: HA! A few bashes with my 3lb sledge, using an aluminum bar, on the rear cab mount of the fender, and I now have a perfect, even space at the door's front edge. Bolted down the initial three points and the rest after dinner. Success!!
How about some more photos? I been poping in & out checkin on the progress. Keep up the good work.
