more fat fender

A shot of the passenger's fender with some black, still have to finish the grill below.

I got it pretty close with a hammer and dolly but I'll probably have to go back during bondo/prep and take otu the big stuff.

return of the fat fender

So for the final touch on the crazy sheetmetal bod mods, the front of the car needs to be widened. As of now the entire rear clip was widened 6" and I widened the front clip 8" at the firewall. To keep the car looking proportional I think the front fenders ought to be widened out a bit.

I thought I would go 8" to match my work at the firewall but turns out 6" looked the best and fell across the front tires pretty well.

This is all happening in a very off-angle gravel driveway though so well see.

This work gives me a chance to demo the lapped fender stuff from earlier and redo my hinge for the front clip. The hinge for the front clip was shotty so its good to redo this. It held up fine over the last year but some of the steel was lapped and just some of the fitting was rough. Im happier with this hinge now, its much simpler and clean.

dash mock up

The dash is in with the flat white on, just starting on the wiring for ECU, fuel and lights. The starting circuit is almost done though. The white paint is growing on me, I think as I come up with more wood trim and door panels its gonna look sick.

Stil workin on the new dash and rebuilding the wiring harness, but the hardtop is off and she's ready for cruisin. Hoping to catch some good August weather if I can get this wiring done.
