Today was a milestone in this build. The front end is all welded together from the nose to the dash. It came out pretty good, and the hood fits.
Next stop is scary, hanging the doors. Stay tuned. Attached thumbnail(s)

Well, it wasn't the first time, and it won't be the last, but I got my arse handed to me the last couple of days. We had to weld the hinge plates in and hang the doors. Sounds simple. It was hell, and our jig, which is usually infallable was not helpful. We winged it, and finally got two doors that open and close, at the correct upper right angle, but it was not fun. William Haupt stayed the course with me and we got it done, but we were brain whipped when it was done. Bill even found time to finish up his belly pan for his 550, 0054. Next is putting the body on the frame, that should be dramatic!

10 years of work and for the first time, it looks like a car. This car about broke me, way more complicated and unforgiving then a 356.
