DOH!
Sometimes I really sleep........zzzzzzzz..........
I decided to stiffen up the front panel and also eliminate some of the access metal to get some relief in the panel.
I made up a trim ring for the grill cutout.

Thanks for looking,
pugsy the work is looking really good .
Thanks Bobby.
It was a little scary for a bit there but it should work out fine.
This is a great build to watch! I love the mods, and your metal working skills are great. Nice transformation on the front!
Damn fine work there.
Loving this thread.
Yeah Pugsy the more I look at it , you could not have made a better choice on the grille , and the work is top notch . Watching this car and many others here
Thanks Guys.
May be a while before I get more done.
I'm going to a metal shaping gathering next week in New York State.
I've got to get something prepared to take with me to work on during the meet.
I went down to Dutch Comstock's metal shaping meet and took my decklid with me.
I had to disassemble it to take out some dents.
I found a full skim coat of bondo under the primer and some rot along the bottom edge.
I made up a patch panel and got it tacked in place.

There were some pin holes in the trunk handle area and I needed to fill all the holes anyways so I wheeled up a large patch for that area and got it tacked in.....

wow amazing build, i hope one day i have something even close to those kind of metal working skills.
Thanks AZ40.
You can always learn by going to a metal shaping meet somewhere.
There are two good websites for this if you're interested.
A few more pics on the welding and slapper dolly work.....
