Wrestled the new fridge panel into place. Held with one cleco pin and a small pair of vice grips and friction. Quite a challenge to get it in singlehanded.

Got busy with the shrinker/stretcher and now have a reasonable match to the curve of the side of the van.

Now I have to figure out how to make it fit lengthwise. Having done work to both B and C pillars there’s a wee gap down the bottom half of the panel. Hmmmm

Hello there Roger, I just happened to click on one of the 80-90 notifications & decided to catch up on the past 5 years of threads & saw you are online.

I can see your skillset has developed nicely, some good work achieved. You have clearly had a significant personal loss to deal with,I'm so sorry for your loss

No news from me, I've been busy on other projects, still got them both though

How much more work do you think there is for you to do ?
