Subject: TR6 and American Racing mag wheels
Hello all,
I am new to this group but not to the cars of England, having been
indoctrinated with a '53 TD as my very first mode of (semi) transportation
other than a bicycle.
Now it is a TR6 that is awaiting refurbishing in my driveway
and that leads me to a couple of questions: the door-body gap is about
3/8in wider at the top than at the bottom while the hardtop doesn't
engage the windscreen when set in place with the bolts in the back -
does this indicate a tweaked chassis or just body panels that need
shimming?
If it is a chassis bend, does anyone know of a shop in the Glendale/No.
Hollywood/Pasadena area of California that could reliably put it right?
This is the start of a full restoration and so the body panels
will eventually come off for thorough conditioning of the
understructures - oh, how we beg for pain! but that seems to be the
best way to ensure that things are done right under there.
Looking forward,
Ken
Glendale, Ca.
