Panel replacement

So here's the next batch of pictures, She is having three panels replaced at CHTR. The small front and back panels and the long streetside. I never noticed the overlap on the front and back center panels . Interesting


Bucking front curbside corner



Panel behind door bucked in place.


Bucking street side front corner & side in order to stabilize the body as much as possible before removing damaged street side panel.


Drilling out front center panel.


Drilling out rear center panel.



curbside rear panel & corner bucked in place.



Streetside panel bucked in place as far back as where the panel will be cut off & replaced.



Drilling out lower portion of front window.



Removing front panel.



Front panel removed. Notice the large overlap of the corner panels beneath the front panel. These overlaps help to strengthen the frontal area, spreading loads from the “A” frame up through the body structure.
 

Rear panel removed………………..& smaller overlaps & smaller loads to transfer.
