well here are some more pics of the progress although the progress has been slow due to other things taking priority that and we decided not to rush to get it on the road this year..... we cut out about 4" of the rear fenders because they were hanging to low for our liking and shot some epoxy on them, we got our exhaust fitted with the electric cut-outs, and dropped the new motor and trans in and began running the accessories and we got the firewall painted....





And ... we grew some balls and decided to make the hood on piece... once we got the piano hinge out we set the two halfs into place where we wanted and where our gaps looked good we then clamped the hood in place and placed some magnets across the two to keep them the same height... we then cut some filler stripes and begun tacking them in work from the center out then we bent up some strips for the under neath and tacked in for strength... now we need to slowly finish the welds and make up some bracing for the underside...
