63 Split Window Corvette with SRIII Chassis

[Restocreations]

I used Evercoat Vette Panel Adhesive/Filler to build up the jambs. Don't use normal body filler. It isnt strong enough. Basically, take a paddle with the filler on it and scrape it on the lip of the door opening as if you were trying to clean the paddle off. Work your way down the door opening to the bottom.(add filler to door jamb, not the door itself). I tape off the areas where i dont want filler and remove the tape before the filler can have a chance to dry. This stuff is like concrete after it cures, so make sure you sand it right after it sets up. I use 40 grit followed by 80 grit. It takes several applications and lots of hand sanding to get everything just right. I folded a piece of 40 grit in half and let the paper do the work to adjust the gaps at the rear. I had to fold the paper 3 times for the front for clearance. Once i have the gap set, then i move into the rest of the door jamb and fill the rest of internal area in and smooth it out. Make sure you have your weatherstripping in place when you fit the doors. If not, then everything will be completely thrown off once you install it. This is a labor of love, so only do a little bit at a time to prevent getting overwhelmed.
