Stopped by John's shop today, he had dropped off the front fenders to his painter after the Macungie show for media blasting and a epoxy primer to protect them until we can get the hood resolved. Then he'll get all the new parts painted blue at one time...
Here's the newly installed fenders with an epoxy finish..

Today we started fabricating the new hood for the Biederman truck. During restoration John had bought a replacement cab with less rust issues that was a couple years newer, and unfortunately slightly wider as well. Since the original hood did not sit down where the bead details aligned, we're going to fabricate a new one that will fit correctly.
Doesn't look like these are going to fit either. Me and dominoes.. Hood is removed and a paper pattern taken for starting point of the new one. Slight bit more material will be added for good measure.. pattern laid out on 16 gauge cold rolled steel. A straight edge finds the start of the radius on either side, marked with tape, and measure to find the center of the radius. Then the radius center and widths get marked onto the new panel. the panel was wheeled to add a slight bit of crown prior to switching to the go kart slick for adding the corner radius. Both sides formed, ready for trimming.. Video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBiwtrWioFs .

Beautiful work. I just used the same way to shape the bonnet. Rubber wheel is wonderful. What kind of pressure do you have in your wheel?

Thanks for all the comments. The go kart slick is slightly low, never checked pressure, just filled and let air out until thumb pressure would push inward..
