half way there. had the front end and bonnet mocked up all looks good, this is the first time ive see it with a grill so i was stocked about that. bay is coming along nicely and there has been a fair bit of welding up holes and strengthening of the front end its so much cleaner. the butchering is getting cleaned up :lol:
