Tonight I began work on the front panels.
First I had to line up and secure the panels into position on the skin...
For hinges I am using the JAG hinges.
Next up was to carefully place where the hinges would be placed. I clamped them into place and used a pencil to trace the outline on the skins. I will use the dremel and a sanding bit to remove paint and buff clean the aluminum for a good bond with the epoxy.
The hinges also need to be sanded to assure a good bond...
I am using GOOP to adhere the hinges to the skins. It worked really well on my first R2.
After applying some of the adhesive to the hinges and skins/panels, I waited 5 minutes, gently placed them into position and clamped them carefully.
This will have to dry for 24 hours.
Next up is to clean up the door panels a bit and get them ready to mount next!
