Been spending a lot of time fixing a few things on the front that I didn't like. I had to push back and change the angle of the one turn signal since it was off. I'm now about 1/8" between the two in height, so very symmetrical. I welded the front fenders to the fascia as well then did some quick bodywork to smooth the seam. Nowhere near final, but it gets me an idea of the final product and man I'm excited!!

The rear section came out pretty good, but now I'm at a standstill until I make the frame and inner structure. With the front more or less one piece, I'll be able to finish the flanges and edges of the fenders.

The front and side grilles will be sent out for chrome plating tomorrow. I welded a wire with studs attached to it for mounting. That got epoxied in the valley so it'll stay in place with no issues of it coming loose once mounted.

Up next I'll start on the frame, but first I need to fix a T-Bucket steering issue for my father-in-law so he can drive his new toy. I'm very happy with it so far!

Cheers
