It appears I was a bit optimistic in my last post when I said that my goal for today was to install both front fenders and the associated lighting. That did not happen. Don and I began the day finishing the dash connections while John was buffing the front fenders. By the way, these fenders are flawless. John is an artist!
While we did take the time to test fit all the body panels prior to painting, the final fit was a bit more difficult because of the stainless beads. The fender pictured to the left fit very well. We handled all the freshly painted parts with caution to prevent any damage. So, we were only moderately successful in achieving our goal...we installed the driver's side fender, and we did it very well.
Now it's looking like a Big Healey!
