Well now I had the rear fender mounts sorted it was time for the front mounts, wanted to keep it simple so first a piece of 3/4" x 1/16" wall box was cut to fit between the front fender/front panel joint,next a pair of curved 1/8" plates were cut out to follow the curve of the joint, these are held in place by the lower 2 fender bolts each side. 2 mounting plates were welded on to align with the frame horns, this was tacked on the car with a mig and then tigged in the workshop, a couple of gussets were added to make it all light but strong, I sat on the fender and jumped around a bit and they never moved so happy with that.





The above took up most of the day to complete but I also got time to make a stainless hood prop, The bit of wood I had been using was starting to be annoying so had to go. again nice and simple, a piece of 3/8" stainless box was fitted with tabs and bolted through the hood stiffeners, then a hole was drilled in the front panel, the hole also acts as a drain as the water collects there.



.Its aweful lonesome in the saddle since my horse died.
