Chrome tips....it's the little things

I ordered new chome tips for my exhausts this week and that are a bit bigger than "pencil tips" but should work out great. 

I also started to weld in the trunk pieces so that i can close the trunk and have it latch. 

Also got new windshield rubber and rear window rubber. So when I can tackle that I will update with pictures. I expect it to be quite an experience. 

Fender and hood surgery

So I sold the front clip o the Merc and replaced it with some nicer parts. Or so I thought. My 49 merc driver side front fender had been hit right near the headlight. 

This caused the fender to bow up and cause all kinds of problems. Luckily eyeball helped me out and showed me to  how to work it out. We did have to make some relief it's that will need to be welded but it is close now. 

Also, I had never been happy with my hood repair.  I it out the replacement piece and will be fabricating a second one and taking my time to get it right.
