Got the fender supports back on and then started to get all the front sheet metal on.
I left the radiator core to frame mounting bolt loose, so it could float as all the other pieces were bolted on.
I think it's coming out fairly decent.
The front fender still need repair work as one is missing the tab for the radiator fender support. Also both had the flange area where the lower frame brace attaches with two bolts rotted away. And then needed some general straightening along the bottom edges.
But this was good enough to see if the radiator mount spacer was going to work.
Also I need to do some repair work along the bottom edge of the cowl as one side has a 2x2 piece of metal missing where the top fender to cowl bolt goes. Also there are a couple of cage nuts missing.
