Need help quick guys...
This piece on the B-cage (the metal lip). Is it supposed to be on the inside of the lower corner bonding strip (like in this pic below)...or is it supposed to be pulled to the outside lip of the bonding strip? I remember reshaping it a while back, and I might have made a mistake on where it is supposed to sit. I'm trying to fit my stinkin front end right now

Kind of. I'm very upset with myself right now. I think I cut way too much off the front fender, now I'm gonna have to reglass it. More god damn work on my shoulders. Building a car all by yourself is friggen tough.

Ian, how about this piece at the bottom of the B-cage. Is the fender (where the rocker molding goes) supposed to line up right with the bottom of the door? The edge right where it goes horizontal and becomes the recess for the molding...

On mine it was inside, the metal piece is part of the windshield frame. Forms the water channel to keep water away from the door frame. The weather strip attaches to it IIRC. Here's a few pics:

As far as the bottom of the clip lining up with the door...Mine was just like yours. I looked at alot of pix on the forum and there are plenty of Vettes with that problem. I reworked mine by building up a few layers of glass and using filler to re-contour it. Came out nice.
