The last couple of weeks since the last update have been focused on the inner front clip, lot's of time spent pondering, cutting, fitting, grinding and a good deal of trial and error working with an old pair of fiberglass inner fenders and a used steel core support.... nothing that fits anywhere close to good together as is.
Using the hood to help check the positioning and fit of everything it became obvious that something was askew. Well, once again bit by previous owner body mounting hole (mis)placement. This time it was the two forward ones near the firewall. There's really no good reference points to be able to measure this tub accurately from side to side on the frame so you really do need the front body parts to get it close to right. I fixed the holes and loosened all the other body mount bolts so I could shift the tub over and get everything aligned better with the front clip and hood.
So I think I have everything where I want it and ready to drill some holes to bolt, screw and then glue it all together.
