Torchie, here's my rendition of a Cool guy. "A guy who makes things look so easy that many people will rush in to copy that cool guy, because, well, there's nothing to that."
You're going to start a trend.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks gang!
After some debate on the CCC site about the rear fender I may get to cutting that today.

Wowzers... that is coming along very nicely! [cl[cl

Quick and dirty section on the DS rear fender.
This one got a step cut to get the rear of the cut below the curve of the rear fender.
I most likely will be looking to get better rear fenders as this one is pretty rough and I don't have PS one at all. But if I have to I will use this one.

Nothing to it. For you.[cl[cl[cl Will you be able to find a fender locally?

Most likely not bob. But you never know what will turn up.
That one in the local yard is a "Wayfarer" and I'm not sure the rear fenders are the same plus the bottoms have been in the dirt for a long time.
I found a pair of NOS in the Detroit area but don't have the funds at this time.
But as my loving wife likes to remind me now and then. "Have we ever not been provided for." That's what faith is really about.
This not my best cutting job but In reality this fender is no worse then what I started with on the rear of the custom truck so it is salvageable. I just want to get what I have cut and tacked together so I can see the thing in the real....LOL
Radiator support and front fender are next on the list.

Wow again.

 

[Torchie]

Sectioning the front fender part one.

This one will get a step cut as well to go down under the headlight.
Full of Bondo.
These fenders are two piece(Top and bottom). As there is a trim spear that goes over the seem it appears that not much concern was given the alinement.

I will also have to section the rad core support as that what holds up the front of the fenders.
Time to weld.

really enjoying watching this project come to fruition ,, this car already had some great lines, now you've squashed it more - it just seems to look even better,, really cant wait to see it on the ground !!

Torchie are you going to shave the hood or leave it stock? ..

Thanks gang! The positive comments help keep the fire burning.
I am thinking about some mods to the hood 23. It will be shaved and possibly peaked. I am also looking at "Pancaking"it as well.
That will involve cutting of the front overhang of the hood and making the bottom edge of the hood one flat line.
Wether or not I do that will also depend on what I come up with for a grill.
Further custom treatments will be things like frenching in the head lites. And some sort of tail light treatment.
I also am tossing around the idea of a "Continental "spare ala the Barris built , Larry Ernst Bellaire.
All has yet to be revealed......[ddd
