1965 aim
I have a friend who owns a body shop and is working on a 1965 convertible. The front end body pieces are off the car and the employees are having a hard time figuring out how it goes together.
Would it be possible for one of you C2 owners to scan the applicable pages of the AIM and email it to me?
I have two C1s and have never done a body off restoration so I feel somewhat helpless.

I will go over to the shop and see what their problems are and go from there. The body shop owner is a fellow club member of the generic car club I belong to.

I obtained a copy of the AIM. I also looked at the car today. It was hit in the front end and the owner got a replacement set of fenders panels and hood somewhere but they don't fit well. There is a big gap between the front door edges and the peak fender creases. Also the creases from the front fenders, doors and rear panels are not uniform in sharpness.
