Interesting video Gavin, love the way you go the extra mile to sort out the panel gaps as there are a lot of so called restorers that don't bother as it is a time consuming job. I restored my Mk3 Cortina way back in the late 80's and the panel gaps on those cars were horrendous I think I ended up welding some welding rods to the edge of the doors to build it up 😂👍
Thanks John for me the the panel gaps are very important you can have the best paint in the world but if the gaps are wrong it will never be a good car
Great video, cant wait for more, wish i had done some vids when building mine but only took photos,i absolutely love the epoxy for classic cars, got some 565 to try sometime as well
Yes it takes a lot of time but for me this is just as important as the paint finish it doesn't matter how good the paint is if the prep and Panel gaps are wrong
@@Gavinpinkpaintshop yeah it can take a right bit of your time away from the job your doing, setting up camera and sound but should work out with the content your putting out.
Do the skin repair panels get tacked or are they fully welded , just asking because ive got a MK1 escort door that i need to repair and I like to know what the pros like Gavin do .
If I'm really honest with you new door skins don't fit as good as these genuine ones you always have to do some fitterling to get the gaps how we like them
That's what's on the decline is true British craftsmanship
