The left gusset was a little higher than the right, was able to bend it to match, looks better. Needs a little more tweeking, thanks again for your help.

How are the body beads lining up ?
Pic one in post 23 shows the RH looking pretty good .
Pic one in post 40 shows the LH being quite high .
Is it still like that ?

Has this car had lower cowl sections replaced ?

Looks like a little more back on the left rad rod may be needed also .

David, bending the left gusset really helped. The beads look better than ever, I don't know about the lower cowl sections, car hasn't been touched in 45 years.

Looks to be getting pretty close .

Time to try the inner skirts .

Give me a call Doug when you get a chance .

Doug can give a better account of what he has done as he is doing it .
I am just a coach .

That said what we have been working with is the radiator support rods and radiator mounting pads .

As you can see there is much to be gained by messing with these adjustments .

Went ahead and installed lower radiator hoses before the inner fenders. This project requires LOTS of patience/adjustments. I am very pleased with the results.

Thanks for posting the results. It's wonderful to see a conclusion to a process and the step by step tutorial to achieve the goal.

Tomcarman, thanks for your comments, still have a way to go, fenders, welting. Weather here is warming, that's a big help.

I hopefully can get my 34 that close! Good job!
