The work continues on fitting the front sheet metal.

Here the body work is almost completed on the right fender. It’s about ready for primer.


The hood on this car is in excellent shape. It had a few dents and a small rust hole on the front.


The rear edges of the hood were reworked for a little better fit to the doors. A little metal was added to make the gaps a little tighter.


The left fender also needed some work for a better fit to the left door.
