Well after a move total house renovations having cancer twice and cutting off one of my fingers with a circular saw Im finally getting back after this car. The plans is try and match the paint on the front clip and doors and drive the snot out of it! I have a 69 ss396 post car i want to dig into but can’t do it until this one is wrapped up.

I got the front clip and drivers door on and for the most part adjusted where gaps are nice! The hood is a different story it almost touches fender on drivers side but passenger side has 3/4” gap. I think I can push drivers door in about 1/8 which would allow me to move drivers fender in about the same but I don’t believe that will be enough to close up gap on passenger side! Assembly manual says between the fender opening in back by windshield should be 56 5/8 my opening is 57”. Anyone have any advice on this ?

This car has January build date with GM factory 6,000 rpm redline tachometer cloth bench seat (originally) and column shift . I pulled dash cluster out this week to find a late 68 date code on it. The dash cluster is also from a column shift car. Which leads me to believe its original to the car but it had been restored By the Lions Club here in Michigan before the wreck!
