Fender follies are fortuitous!
Driver's side is formed, and while neither fender is attached to the fascia yet, the look is there!
The grilles coming back from the printer created a lot of extra work cutting and bending the metal to tighten up the gaps. No final body work done yet, but it's close right now that I can stop and move on to the rear section now.
I spend hours looking at the photos I took of a 507 being restored in the Philly area last week and it's these small details that are just invaluable to getting this shape as close as I can to the real deal. But like with everything, you walk away, come back the next day and say, "Well that's not right, Jackson! What were you thinking? Move this to there and that'll do it!"
But that's the fun part... And the frustrating part... And the "why am I into this hobby in the first place?" part.
Trunk lock panel is back from the printer as well and the detail is amazing. Dash gauge pod is next.
I'm halfway tempted to send these parts out to be sand casted so they are metal then get them chrome plated. We'll see. Have to find a caster that won't spin me around with months of wait time! Get it? Caster? Spin? I know.... Awful.
Time to go beat more metal into submission on the back half now. Wish me luck!
Cheers
Dave
