Lots of cutting and splicing but I'm happy with the fitment now. Driver's side fender is formed, and I can't wait to get to Jim's to learn more! Speaking of that, don't look at the cowl panel. That's just an exercise to see what I don't know!
I printed off the trunk panel too. Amazing to me the detail with these things!
More to come.

Hi Dave,
The German autos of the 1950's had a neat talent for chrome-plating aluminum - sure gave us some headaches when restoring that era trim/brightwork....
I would think that chromeplating what you print up would be appearance-acceptable?
Working out your fasteners is a separate mechanical challenge.... though I'd think you would have a good set of usable parts ...
