The whole luck in getting this car was a relist , the guy didn't like the damage it had . From what I can figure out it was hit from something of the same era with the damage so high and a light impact . This car was stored around 50 years in a garage after this impact .
The left front fender was hit and the left rear as with the drivers door pushing the body in about a inch in this location . I built a wooden frame so I could push it out to the correct dimensions so the door area was correct .
I used a 2 ton bottle jack up and down the post till it was back out .
The door had a lot of sheet metal damage so I picked up a used door . This is still rough compared to the finish but thats later .
One of the previous owners banged it out stretching the metal pretty badly .
Had this fixed by a sheet metal guy .
