Joe, thanks man. I’ve followed a bunch of your builds and am always learning something new.
Looks a lot like how I did mine. I like that approach because I can add spacers to the flat plate if I need to adjust the core support slightly to make all the fender and hood gaps line up. So far, no problems



Looks like some great progress. Are you not adding running boards?
