Re: 1958 Saab story

Just read through you build. It’s coming together at a great pace. Personally I think you nailed the stance. Keep up the progress.

Looks great. You are nailing a rather tricky swap!

Re: 1958 Saab story

I cut up the panel truck inner fenders because I needed to repurpose the part with the hood hinge spring.

I think I'll get a top post battery so I don't have any issues with this dude post being so close to the inner fender.

Re: 1958 Saab story

I put the hood on with new hood springs. Everything clears and it latches beautifully.

Looks great. Side post or relocate for sure. Gotta get that front end hung on there and drive it.
