| After shaping the metal panels, they are rolled on the English wheel to eliminate any distortions. |

Now there is a nice even gap and the front of the hood is flush with header panel. |
|
|
 |
|
|
The hood gap at the cowl was too large on one side. It was sliced and 1/8" rods were used to extend the hood. |
|
|
 |
|
|
The hood gap was tight at the front, the hood was sliced and a thin sliver was removed. |
|
|
 |
|
|
The header panel was cut and re-positioned to fit the grilles. |
|
|
 |
|
|
The next three photos show the re-working of the fenders to fit the headlight bezels. The fender was cut along the black marker lines, re-positioned and welded. |

The metal work on front of the car is now complete. Next will be a test fit of the front bumper, once it is fitting properly it can be removed along with the grilles and bezels and the block sanding process can begin. |

The dash received a skim coat of filler to make it straight. |
|
|
 |
|
|
The painting has now started. Because this is a solid color panels can be painted separately. |
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
The frame is completely stripped, sand blasted and painted. |
|
|
 |
|
|
The car is assembled and ready to return to owner who will finish the project |
