I spent 12 days last month at two metal shaping event, one in Huntsville, Alabama and one in southeast Minnesota. In Alabama I finally got all the panels to fit each other and TIG tack welded them together on the bucks that I had previously made. These pictures are an update on the progress on the cowl panel, the nose section and grill and the tail section.

The first pics show how the 'fixture' was made to put the 4" wide character line down the center. This character line will go from around the radiator cap, back over the entire length of the car to back around the gas filler neck.

These pictures are showing work done to tack weld the nose and tail section panels.
