After clearing over the lettering, sanding and buffing, the front end was ready to be assembled. Had some help aligning the fenders. Even though they were test fit, they did not fit perfectly into place at first. While the radiator support is a different one then used for fitting, that didn’t seem to be the issue. After some time and carefully caressing the fender into place, success was achieved. I do have a clearance issue w/ the inner wheel well that can be massaged rather easily. Happens with design changes in the later stages of the build. At the end of the day, it looks like a car again. Just need to align the hood. The hood will then be removed and sent to the artist for the bird.
Interior is stated to be completed this week or so. Glass will probably go in shortly.
