UPDATE TIME!!!

got in the garage today and spent a few hours in there not that you would tell i managed to get one a panel fitted but its such a long process i had to modify the a panel at the top and bottom

also got the front panels back on and taped the bonnet on to the wings so i can remove it all and weld it up but after removing the front lip of the bonnet the front panel sticks out about an inch so ill weld the rest up then force it back in and weld that up too

then i made up two of these little stiffeners

they are for the a panel to stop it flexing around with the flip front like this

i should get them welded on over the weekend. and what took most of the time was sorting out the man cave i should have enough room for the k series when i hopefully pick it up this weekend
