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.
