Hi All,
 Though I've not previously posted, I'm not new to the list.
Though it's my first Tiger it is not my first Sunbeam!
 Before my question- a little background info: The Tiger's previous
P.O. was allegedly a  resident of the salt infested/ metal compromising
seaside town of Aptos,CA. It was here, it is said, that he parked my
future (thinly primer only coated) Tiger. This is a car that by this
point had tragically also fallen victim to the dreaded, unscrupulous,
tin snip wielding, gung-ho installer of the " improperly bonded/oxide
incubating, actively separating and entirely inappropriate fiberglass
fender flair"...  with no previous experience. Soo... am seeking advice/

info regarding tactics/techniques as they may apply to replacement
and return of ALL the Tiger's outer body sheet metal to stock
configuration. Btw, can anyone substantiate the existence of an alleged
Sunbeam specific "write up" (possible step by step guide)
on this very undertaking? If there truly IS a preferred and/or
recommended approach to this aspect of an admitted quite possibly
extreme Tiger resurrection... I'm all ears. Thanks in advance!
                                      Jon Clark
                                    '65 Tiger B9472148
P.S. I'll show 'em ALL "what a difference a day makes"...
even if it takes a couple a'hundred!
  "I do hereby refuse to half ass this project". JC
