Progress on #782

[ERA 778]

Dan ,

That's right. Just be careful drilling those holes as I said before and you should have no problems.

One other thing I did was take tons of photos while I was dissassembling everything - every detail. You think that you can remember how everything goes together, but believe me, after six months it's good to have those pictures refer to. Take pictures from different angles; it will make it easier to find how those two parts really go together. Today I actually dug through photos I took of the cut-=away car ar ERA to determine how some of the wiring should be routed - it saved my b***!

Enjoy the ride!

Epoxied the body on today using a TAP 2-part fiberglass repair epoxy. Went pretty well although the mixed epoxy didn't end up quite as stiff as the test batch I made up. However, it was probably about as stiff as possible and still work through the fillable caulking tubes I used. It did a pretty good job staying in the joint. Still a lot of rivet holes left to drill out - probably about half through (I hope). Only broken one drill bit so far.



TAP epoxy and empty tubes from West Marine. I think I have a life time supply of 2-part epoxy left over.





Also, epoxied the nose bar in front of the hood. Everything lined up again with just a little pulling and tugging. I still have the rocker panels to do.
