I'm enjoying your build, Steve. You have good solid solutions for the needs that arise.
I helped an older drag-chassis guy mod his '67 500 Fairlane front fender set, to wedge it all into the sloped hood. We just split the fenders twice each, 90% of the full length, one above the body line and one below. He made the slices dead straight and real quick. I just fusion welded the 15ft or so, and ran them through the Hammer until they were file-flat.
Since we spread out the taper the front end looks real nicely wedged, but you can't exactly pinpoint where the moves occurred.
Very nice build.
