The VFN nose has held up great! Zero signs of stress or any signs of needing repairs. The top center peak that matches up with the body lines on the middle of the hood , needed some filler to get a perfect match to the contours of the hood...but no biggie. Overall I have been very satisfied with the nose.

I was looking at it and it would be easy to resin in a few AL dzus tabs in the grille area and have screws to the fender behind the headlight buckets. We'll figure it out when we make it to that end of the car.

We mocked the gas tank in and trial fit the rear tray. Now to box the frame.

Sorry I haven't been updating the progress. We had an emergency rush job come in and it took a week to get through.

I side tracked myself with the extra bracing, then frame rail trimming but managed to get one side of the frame rail modified and inner structure for the support bar in, now I have to go back to work on the frame rail cap templates so we can get it all welded up on Monday. Then repete on the other rail.

Left and right frames are done and boxed. Now on to the crossmember and cross bar.

In hibernation?

Vince@Meanstreets · #**148** 12-08-2013, 04:02 PM

No, there's been a bunch of metal work done but I've been so busy during the holidays I haven't been able to put pictures up and write a brettatorial.

I'm finishing up two projects this week and I'll try to get some pictures up for you guys.

Thanks for the interest.

more of the II Much vent supports....

with the rear hoop in and the supports finished.

rear down bar test pipe mocked in. I think we will be doing a 45 then terminate back farther.
