I'm working the front end but, I had to back it out to do some cleaning. So I snapped some shots and the little fella’s body is starting to look complete.
Check out the right fender at the bottom against the rocker. The fender is a little bent and needs a little work to align it with the rocker. Those are the original fenders so I think most of the time that old stuff going to get dinged and banged.

I finally got that ( not so perfect) right front fender aligned. The lower edge didn't line up with the rocker. A little cutting, welding, and grinding it's just about there. I also open the door gap, but have decided it needs a bit more space to be like the left side.

Hi Everybody,

This weekend I was able to get the body work done. I got the sanding complete and was able to blow some high build 2K prime on it. The time has come for block sanding and searching for those little bad spots and then paint time. I want to thank Marvin for helping this weekend. Razz
