Aaron's 76 Type LT Project

2 minute(s) of a 383 minute read

Thanks bud, I saw you are well into the disassembly process. Your 77 project looks like a good one.  

The only progress has been getting the tulip panel, trunk lid and driver side door on so I can measure all the gaps before removing the old 1/4 panel. Been helping my dad get their tile installed in their living room so not as much time for the Camaro.

Here's a few pics of the door on - the door-to-1/4 gap is almost there. I need to get the top of the gap narrowed some. I will tweek it some more tomorrow and hopefully begin removing the old 1/4 panel.

So I fidgeted with the door some more and got the door-to-1/4 gap a more uniform 1/8" (slightly over 1/8"). The gap at the very top is 3/16" but I think that is more due to the "uniqueness" of the door than anything else. The door-to-rocker gap is a consistent 1/4". So I am going to run with this. Keep in mind that this isn't the FINAL fitting, so I just need to make sure the gap when the new 1/4 goes on is the same as the old gap.

Thoughts?
