Thanks.

The next step was to get started on the front nose between the headlights.
I matched the passenger side with the same piece and then made one identical to the driver's side and tacked it to the inboard side of the new passenger side piece.
I got out the chicken wire and screwed it to the front of the car so I could slide some ''Burt'' buck strips thru to create the shape.





I then tacked all the strips together to maintain the shape and added foil tape to accept the bondo for the finished buck.












I did all this to see how she looked before comitting to the shape.
I thought it looked OK so I used this buck to take patterns from to shape the new panels.

123 this is looking good so far , waiting to see the finished product of your build .

Thanks Bobby.

I'll post some more later.

You're gonna be waiting awhile for the finished product as I'm starting year 4 of a 10 year plan.

Thanks Jack.

The fella I bought the car from had the same request.
I told him to hang in there so I could take him for a drive when its done.
You do the same.
