We’re still at the shop, making progress bit by bit. Larry asked me to drop off the chrome moulding 
for the front edge of the hood so that as he worked out the small dent at the front he could be sure he had the right contour and that there would be no gaps. Always happy to oblige I ran it over today, alas, Larry was playing hooky today so I left it in the car for him and he will be able to deal with it on Monday.
I’m psyched just seeing progress being made. The small bad areas on the doors have been cut out patched with metal and finished off. 
The passenger side front fender has been cleaned up, aligned and the welded seam where we put on the new tab has been smoothed out and finished perfectly, even though it will be hidden by the rocker panel when it is installed. 
Found another new issue Wednesday when we realized the top side of the hood had detached from the structural ribs underneath, seems like that has been taken care of and that’s a good thing. With the way the panel was springing it would have been all but impossible to block the hood without stabilizing it first.
I’m just a rookie but it looks to me that we are about 30% of the way through patching and prepping before paint. 
We are still waiting for the upholstery materials to be delivered so we can get moving on getting the seats covered and when they called today they told me they were working on the headliner and just wanted to verify the number of ribs. Got that straightened out and asked them to please ship the fabrics and not wait for the whole order to be complete. They will get back to me with a ship date, hopefully soon.
back next week…
