Finally,I have some updates here !I have been waiting for Tyler's pics but his camera screwed up and their somewhere out in cyberspace !
Anyhow,Ill start with a few of the hood,fenders and cowl's.You will notice that all the gaps are consistent which wasn't the case when new.It took many hours,$$$$$$$$, and persistence to get it all right.I still might lower the hood slightly which may involve shaving the valance.
Now the hood,inner fenders,rad support,grill support are all original.The outer fenders are new.
The hood was an Arizona find which is good for the rust issues but was badly damaged at the front between the signal lights.Also it was sagging badly at its center.
The lower hood corners where meeting the cowl pieces were badly bent as well.
I decided to go with the hood seams welded and smoothed to match the box....,looks clean and cool !
