Some major steps forward! I built a frame to hold the front end off of the body buck. This allowed me to weld the fenders to the fascia. Now I can finish the gutters and fender edges.
Rear quarters are all primed along with some install bodywork on the front end. I spent an hour staring at the front not liking one turn signal. It was facing down along with being canted to the side a bit. So I hacked that out, recessed it, then rewelded it up. I'm very happy with the syma...symmetric...simetric.....same sidededness between left and right now.
The front and side grilles head to the chrome plate guy tomorrow in Massachusetts. Can't wait to get them back! I welded up a frame with studs for mounting, then sat that in epoxy followed by epoxy putty on top of that. It bolts right up and won't cause any issues once it's all fastened in place.
So what's next? Frame time!! I can't finished the edges of the rear until it's all mounted on the frame.
More to come...
Cheers
