now it's getting somewhere... not sure where, but some. where
now a full dry fit
hood latches
easiest way to find the bottom of the hole
and then
success, red thingy in the hole
hood line up... what a pain
with a shim, I got one side pretty close, still need to do some kind of block on the other side
not quite done with the radiator... now I need to block all the ways air can bypass the radiator. If I don't, it will overheat

the bent edges... there could be another bend or two before this is done
back apart to clean the edges for gluing, screwing and riveting
and removal of unneeded pieces
best way to remove undercoating.... irony is I'll reapply sound deadener once this is all together
goes here, notice also the undercoating is gone
ugh
inner fenders (or how to make flat metal curvy)
but it looks better in the end
other than a bunch of dirt, it doesn't look like I did much of anything... and for the record, the left front had far less coating...

In news, I ordered different accessory brackets for the motor. I need to move the power steering pump up to clear the rack, then it interferes with the alternator... so I'll move it to the other side... hopefully that stuff arrives next week.
Onward
air cleaners... I sure have a bunch of options... and another on its way.. i really, really, really don't want to cut on the hood... and I think I can get away without it... crossing fingers
radiator
first step is rebuilding the bracket
then melting stuff
then more welding
and more test fitting
closer
now bolted in place... still need to do something about the ends to make them pretty, but it's functional now
hood pins
the line (dark) is where the pin needs to be
now it is
other side
need to finish that up... it's becoming warm enough that I may be able to glue panels in place tomorrow... once that dries then epoxy the holes up... the coat the floor with sound deadener...Doing it all wrong since 1966

Looking good!
bleh, wiring. I'm working the same stuff on my car..."I am not what you so glibly call to be a civilized man. I have broken with society for reasons which I alone am able to appreciate. I am therefore not subject to it's stupid laws, and I ask you to never allude to them in my presence again."
