Re: Wife's 48

Thanks. The hood, front fenders and cab all came from one truck. I was told it was driving, but that was a long time ago. The guy I bought it from bought in pieces from a guy who dissembled it to do a restoration. So the parts have been moved at least 3 times.

I looked at and measured that fender and it is very close to right. I'm beginning to think the hood may be the issue. It has pretty good gaps in the rear, but the rider's side seems to be up.

I put the top bar from a grill on the two fenders to see how it looked and it fits fine.

So next week when I can get back to it, I'll keep adding pieces to see if I can get it to line up. I may have to work on the hood some to see if I can move it around with a hammer and dolly, but I truly can't see or feel a dent, maybe a bow.

Now if I can just get an answer to the rear of the frame. That one has me really stumped.
