Nice project. Did you put a slight bend on the cowl filler piece?

I didn't need much but yes I put a little bend in it.


I continued my sanding saga on the fender and am getting very close to having it done and I have almost finished shaving the passenger door but ran out of daylight. In this side shot you can see that the fender heights came out pretty close to one another.

I live in East Texas...

In the next couple of days I hope to get the fender and door finished off.
The suicide door kit I initially ordered was on backorder for at least 4 more weeks so I found another vendor that has them in stock and will order them today. In about a week I should be getting started on making those doors swing backwards.

Can't wait to see the finished (if they are ever finished) product.  Love what you have done with the fenders and the tailgate.  Great job.
