Chevrolet specified 3/16" +-1/16" on gaps on this era of Chevrolet. Much of adjusting body panels is covered in the Shop Manual which are available either NOS or in reprint. Generally speaking on the 49-54 Chevrolet, the hood, fender, door adjustment begins with the hood with springs removed.
Hiya, great video , Good information, learnt a lot, you can use a MIG welder for quite a bit of the work. If you are joining panels and you need to manipulate or panel beat it is very hard if that being mig, in that case you use a TIG or gas welder those Two welds allow the metal to move and have a correct panel beating finish. thanks for sharing
