1961 Bonnet – welded flanges

DSC_0162

The LH side came out GREAT! The bare metal (and some red oxide primer under our etch primer because there was pitting on those flanges and even though we blasted them bare, we like to play it safe…) on the outer wing flange is where we had to do some re-arching to match the wing during assembly. These should be close but they don’t have to be perfect – that’s what the factory added the chrome beading for – it hides that the two panels don’t match each other perfectly. We have the machinery here to re-arch these edges so that they are a dead match, but you don’t have to sweat it at home unless you are WAY off…
