Re: Wife's 48

Worked on the hood. The riders side corner of the hood had been damaged and welded back, and when it was, it was short of where it needed to be.

So using a Dremel and a cut off wheel to make as thin a cut as possible, I cut it loose, and added some filler.

Can't tell in this picture, but the gap front to back is almost spot on, I will need to do some more work on the fender as it appears to have been repaired there too and is off a little as you can see in the first picture.

I'm going to check gaps one more time, but I think I'm good on gaps and need to move on from fitting stuff and get it painted so I can put it together.
