I mocked up and trimmed the rockers, aligned the doors and got everything relatively straight.
Attached Image

I got the fenders mocked up, got the gaps good, threw on the bumpers to generally test fitment.
Attached Image

I am re-thinking the hinge system in the front, after mocking it up I can get away with a simple pivot point off of the front of the chassis.
Attached Image

I pulled off the fender and ground off the old hinge points and started stripping it.

I threw some primer on the interior portions of the fenders after cleaning them up, whole new world doing metal work in the wet PNW, I used to be able to leave metal bare for years in Wyo/Co, not any more!
Attached Image

Took the front wheels off, then started getting the fenders aligned for real with good door gaps, forgot how fiddly body work is...
This is to set the exact location for the front pivot point, get the fenders in the right spot, mark it, add pivot points, then weld the hood on.
Attached Image

Had to do a bit of clearancing on the chassis but everything fits snug now.
Attached Image

But now for the most important bit of news, I am upgrading my shop to 220, I used to have to drag a 50' extension cord to our dryer plug in the house to weld, which pretty much kept me from welding at all, not any more! Never had the luxury of just being able to turn on a welder and go, should be life changing for all of the panel welding I have on the horizon!

Well good news and bad news, bad news is we are under shelter in place orders for the foreseeable future, good news is I am sheltering in my garage...

Quick little project to start off, I think the lack of wipers on the car is the only actual violation on the car, time to make that situation a little less obvious...
I bought some manual golf cart wipers, I like their blacked out minimal design.
Attached Image

Then modified them to be straight and short enough for the chopped windshield.
Attached Image

Then bolted them on....

Now onto some real work, I am rethinking the front tilt hinges and going to a simple pivot in the front, this causes issues in other spots but that is a problem for another day.
Attached Image

I prepped the fenders for their new attachment points:

And welded them on:

I cut off the old tilt front brackets, and cleaned up the front a little bit.
Attached Image

Welded in the mounts for the new front pivots.
Attached Image

Then mounted the fenders to the new mounts.

Nice work!
I can't wait to see it tilt.

Now that I am setting panel gaps for real I need to make some tools to hold panels in the correct location. I cut out all the ingredients for some panel clamps.
Attached Image

Welded them up.
Attached Image

I also 3D printed some panel spacers.

i am pretty pleased with the 3D printed door spacers, they hold the gap perfect.
Attached Image

Other clamps are working well too.
Attached Image

Now the fenders really seem to be in the right spot and ready to meet the hood.

I may make another one, that was a relay logic board (would use an arduino now) powering a couple linear actuators attached to a cut portion of the original trunk lid.
didn't have it for long, can't even find a pic!

I used a flat sheet held against the cage to mark the inner wheelwell that needed to be clearanced.
Attached Image

Then marked and cut out the excess material.
Attached Image

Finally I mocked up the front end for the 100th time, this time though I bolted them onto the pivots, then temporarily reinforced with an appropriate amount of plywood (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)
