Holes cut and looking better than I expected. Just a little more sanding for final fittment of the headlights. I decided to go without fog lights…I think it looks a little less cluttered. It took a second to figure out how to get the turn signals centered in the oddly shaped space, but I think I nearly nailed it!
And so it begins...the AP build.

Motor should be in a truck and on its was today. No rush, since I’m still waiting on the trans adapter plate and headers…along with a few thousand other things that will vaporize my credit card.
Working on getting more body projects squared away with the goal of having the body straighten out and in primer by the end of summer.
This weekends project was finishing out leveling the tops of the rockers. This should help the rear clam fit better.
What a PITA spreading the thickened epoxy while still preserving the existing holes! Final top coat will be filler.

Non existing probably.
Learned thru my own build that NOTHING is symmetrical on these bodies...
But for your sake i'm crossing by fingers for u that this specific section actually is symmetrical
Next step is to pull the coil over spring and see what kind of clearance is needed for the addition to the inner wheel tub under full compression. The way AP attached their part of the close out is unacceptably. I’ll grind out the corner and apply a faring, before layering in some more 1708.
I had originally planned on using a pin on each side of the clam to help secure it down, along with the lower latches. I’m going to have to re-engineer my closeouts to accommodate for that if I want to continue down that road. I could also just use one centrally located pin. This would be easiest. It seems like originals went either way. Any thoughts?
I also found a use for my butt welding clamps.

That is looking really good!
