My prep to fix the front noes of the bus. Here I measured the replacement panel that will repair the crushed bus nose shape. The panel that I cut is 8 inches (20.32 cm) high. The replacement panel is it a tad bit higher, but I rather grind it up to cover my imperfect cuts that normally run a bit high and low. I used the blue tape as a guide, trying to cut on top of it, or skimming it. With all the sparks, it is very hard to tell. That is why I made sure that I under cut the piece. If I made a mistake, the whole replacement would be roughly $600.00 USA with shipping and it would require my retro-fitting the earlier bullet turning signals.
The bottom nose was removed. I tried to input the replacement part and as expected, it is to low to insert. The main goal of this repair is to replace the A-Pillar below the floor. I needed access to see what was beneath it all. The secondary reason was to replace the damaged nose.
Please stay tuned..
