Some more work on the Clipper today. I got the passenger side fender aligned and completely bolted down. Then I finished media-blasting all the various bolts, clips and speed nuts to finish putting the front of the car together and then they were all painted to ward off future rust.
The front splash panel was installed next, followed by the top radiator cover panel. With all this in place I was able to then get the hood alignment dialed in. The hood latches evenly with no binding.
With all the done, I finished the day in the garage with cutting the flexible duct for the fresh-air intake. This was then installed. I am using reproduction material that I bought from PI. This fit so much better that the corrugated plastic ducting that was on my car when I got it. The OE style ducting fits snug so no clamps are needed.
