    After repairing the top, I widened the the bottom area to fit the running board.

    I filled several holes not needed on the flange.

    I fabbed a new brace for the area that connects to the running board.

    I had to split the fender in several places to fit the arch of the fender well. I'm
    not using fender welt, and want a tight fit.

    Moving to front cowl area. I could not live with this gap.I had already repaired this
    area, and had replaced panel to match existing original!

    I bit the bullet, and replaced it. I will address the bottom left corner when I remove
    body.

    Of course the door had to be redone to match. Oh well, it's done.

    Reformed, and added piece here.

    I formed a complete new piece to fit the running board rather than have 2 welds.

    I cut, and reshaped the repo fender braces, here I'm finishing the outter hole
    for the carriage bolt. It needs to be spot on, it has a wire edge.

    I cut this panel in three pieces. I trimmed the bottom off, and ran a new bead to
    match the raised side pieces. Lots of fussing around to get the proper
    clearance around the bottom of the grill shell.
    [IMG][/IMG]
    I see some cars without this piece, I think it adds a lot to the car. Now I have
    to do the other side.

    I'll have to stop posting on this thread for awhile. I have been recovering from
    surgery, and have not been able to work out in the shop. Last couple days I
    been doing some bench work. This sitting around drives me crazy! LOL
    I want to use a original 31 IN plate, of course they are a odd size. I bought
    one of those adjustable frames, but of course I had to modify it. I like the
    looks of the old plate, and will not repaint it.

    Great work. All that metal work will set it off for sure!

    Not much to report on my Coupe, but helped a friend of mine
    with a little project. He wanted a cover to hide the dizzy, and wires
    which would match his air cleaner. I made a simple hammer form
    with rounded edges to form a piece of 3003 .063 alum. over which
    I had run a couple of beads in.

    Here is the piece after forming. We later welded some extensions on the sides
    so it would cover more, I missed taking pics as I was busy.

    Heres the finished piece after the owner sanded, and buffed.

    Fun project , he's the friend that 'donated' the front end for my Coupe project. He's
    a pretty good metal man, that gray trk has the cab extended with a 6" strip down the middle of the doors.
