First the typical news, another night (actually 2) spent fixing a new part. After mocking up the front end more precisely we found that one fender required a half inch worth of shims on one side and none on the other. Not good! Well we found that the new rad support was basically shaped like a mild propeller! So it was time to get serious.
Talk about using what you have available, check it out.
A bottle jack, 2x4's and a large dude hanging on the end. I couldn't hang and take the picture, sorry.
Now the good news, I was doing a happy dance.
If anyone has paid attention to my whining and moaning about the hood and how bad it fits this is major progress and I haven't cut the skin of the hood. (YET) This is all from a combination of hammer and dolly work and wait for it.....................having my Dad stand on the hood! Nothing but Hi-Tech for us!
Results speak for themselves, we are getting there.
The front of the hood has been formed poorly and I won't be able to get away without cutting it, but it is much less than I thought I was going to have to do. It was a good night in the garage!
