Cleaning and painting the front fender supports and the front "cow catcher".
Once I can get the fender support back on, then I am going to try to test fit all the front sheet metal to see what adjustments I need to make to the position of the radiator/support.
Once I get that pretty dialed in and the radiator locked in place the I'll pull then sheet metal back off to finish the engine bay stuff. Pretty hard to get radiator hoses on and off with the grill shell on. Also I still need to mount the new grille in the shell.
So I'll be cleaning up the front sheet metal enough to make it look presentable in its patina form. Real paint and body work will not happen until the end of 2024.
