I have to say the Rage Gold Filler is the nicest body filler I have ever
used. With that being said........ The dust and mess along with all of the
sweat really sucks. But here in these pictures I made it through it. |

I have all of the Factory Fiver cobra body panels at the same height with
proper gaps. |
 |
 |

Here you can see I needed to lower the light switch, I did so and patched
the hole in the aluminum dash before covering. |

I then found the dead center of all the panels that would be striped, I then
made a small drill mark at the beginning and end of each surface so they
could be returned to this exact location for masking with out hinges
in place. The marks are place in very inconspicuous places, such as the edge
of the hood. I also drilled 1/8th inch holes though the doors and hinges to
make realignment easy (major time saver!). |

You can see through these pictures evidence of the unevenness in the body,
nothing that cannot be overcome. When researching prior to this project I
heard a lot of whining about how terrible these bodies are. I say it is
exactly that Whining again Factory Five has proven themselves professional
manufactures. |

The second two pictures show what it took to align the hood properly with
the body. The MKIII Hinge kit works great the hood goes up and down with
ease. This did require some patients, trial and error once again prevailed. |

|
|
The left and right hood hinges had to be located on opposite sides of the
mechanism to help with hood alignment to the FFR body. |
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The hood scoop under side required filler also. |
 |

|
The first picture shows the laying out of the defroster cut outs. Here in
the second and third, you can see the doors receiving needed sanding in prep
of the filler primer. High build PPG shop line was use. |
