Thomas,
To be honest, I painted the car with the front and rear shroud in place
(fenders off). I was convinced by Roger Moment's articles and (even more) by
my body shop owner. He said that it will be quite difficult to properly
align all the panels if they all have so much freedom of movement.
I kind of agreed.
I should add, that the car had all the fenders and doors in place for paint
prep work. They were only taken all off for paint.
And, if I did it again, I would do it the same way. It was pretty difficult
to just get the fenders and doors right :-)
Best, Tadek

Hi Tadek,
I agree that it is a bit tricky to fit the rear view mirror and middle
support. But think of all the cable clips, the clips for the oil pressure
line etc. etc. Finally to fit the wiper motor through the holes in the
bulkhead, with the shroud removed, is a piece of cake.
Nevertheless I agree there are several ways to do it, but I would always try
to fit as much as possible ehen the shroud is removed.
Regards
Thomas
