Wing is from beevers. The last person to replace it did a cr*p job andused a gen ford wing and a lot of seam sealer. i cut 4 welds and it come off :shock: And i didnt need to cut around the arch :roll:

I used MVM's how to and it took about 2 hours 8) 8) Just got to weld behind the door now :roll:

Other side tomorrow :P
