There are enough scratches...err...character flaws, that I already plan on getting it all touched up when all is said and done. So I don't mind modifying if I need to.
yes I know and regret building the truck in the order, but it is what it is at this point.

yes, I fit the hood to cowl, and am trying to fit the fenders to the hood.

the grill bar and top plate were on there to take a picture. So far I've been playing with the inner outer fenders, the rad support and sometimes the outer fender supports if I feel like I'm getting close to good fitment.

Martinsr, do you think the rad support is leaning too far to the driverside?

thanks again
I'm sorry, I can't tell that from these photos. Measure it and see. You can cross measure the front to see if it's over.
