1959 356 T5 Coupe – Location of side trim molding holes
Posted: Sat Jan 27, 2018 1:07 pm
Hey fellow 356 enthusiast
After a long waiting period, things are moving forward with my T5 coupe. I finished disassembly in Dec 2016 and handed it over to the body shop. A year later, I was told that metal work on the body was finished. So far, the only progress info I have received were the pics below.
So this Monday, I'll drive a couple hundred miles to go "inspect" the body work. The pics look quite alright to me and the fact that the metal work was done on a Celette increases the chances that the body is straight. BUT: I'm just an enthusiast, not a professional. So the current question for you guys would be:
Any advice on what I should check specifically?
Any ideas on how I can measure if the body is straight (it will not be on the Celette anymore when I inspect it)?
Thanks!
Will
