E worked Thurday evening on drilling holes and installing rivet nuts for the inner inner fender mounts.

Oops, I think she chipped a nail..

Meanwhile, I fabricated the console lid insert...

Today, Mike and I worked on the lower radiator mount. We tossed around various ideas, and settled on one that would keep the lower condensor mount a separate isolated part. We decided to use the same dies used to for the J-channel detail on the back of the 52 Chevy tailpan that we made up a couple years ago.

Here the J-channel detail is added on a piece of 16 gauge cold rolled steel..
