After a week or so of bodywork, the front shroud and fenders are ready to rough fit. We need to make sure that the fenders and shroud line up with the attachment brackets before final installation. Also, we will take this opportunity to check the alignment between the front fenders and doors and to adjust the body lines on the side. If additional bodywork is required, now is the time.
Today I installed the fan shroud which is shown in the photo to the right. This shroud directs the air coming through the grille to the radiator. It is fastened to the bottom of the grille.
The final paint has been applied to the underside of the front shroud (or cowl). Monday morning we will be assembling the front clip.
The archive listing of this blog contains detailed step-by-step photos and narratives regarding this restoration since it began late last December. Please direct any comments and questions to tommystoplesscars@yahoo.com.
It's taking shape...
