My weekend is finally here and had chance to get back to the car this morning. I measured back from the front edge of the hood to get to the point the hood will fit the grill, approx 1.5 in., I can shorten the side panel 3/4 inch each end. The hood fits well at the cowl as do the side panels. Before I do any cutting I plan on clamping the rear fenders and running boards in place to check front fender fit!
Building a kit car is something I always wanted to do, Ive restored several cars in the past,all british so not much intimidates me,I’ll get through this and want thank everybody for their responses and ideas
Thanks Craig
