Another "I can't leave it like this"....
mind you, I could have sculpted that into perfect shape but it would always bug me there's a 1/2" of vette adhesive under the paint....
so I'll epoxy some fiberglass into place.... and continue to say bad words about the supplier as this side was made 1" shorter then the other
I think, though, this is pandemic - this is how well the hood fits (different supplier) - I will say, though, I got a substantial discount because there's a flaw on the corner (not bad, but a flaw)...... but why can't this braced piece match the fender?
that's the other major fix then there's nothing left but the hand sanding

Time for all those little jobs that need doing
lower ball joints
installed... well, one side then dinner
Paint PS pump brackets
I've done the paint without removing the sidepipes.... not again
the next few episodes will be more of the same.... finish inner wheel wells, create an inner boot floor, stuff I hate doing but now keeping me from finishing

I worked on this, first the bad news.... wrong bracket for the PS pump... and worst of all my GAS ratio was so low that I didn't even start to figure it out - I applied one WFI and beat the lower ball joints in (which was satisfying)

I came in this afternoon from working on the fiberglass and my wife asked me why my hair was all white? Looked in the mirror and realized I'd forgotten to blow that crap off! I spent 2 hours cleaning up fiberglass dust and the shop still looks like a disaster area!Last edited by 1946Austin; January 29, 2020, 02:25 PM.

I admit it, I don't want to do the fiberglassing on the hood, hood scoop and interior space (the interior space is the most hateful)... but I also need to clear some space so the work has been happening on the Buick motor... however, brief update
I thought the bracket would work.... it does
