Thanks Brian and Clemens! The fenders came in yesterday and look good. Doors will be back on thursday, but the body is only going to get finished in the middle or end of May. I won't make it to Switzerland. It would have been really cool, and a euro meet is on my bucket list, but not this year. I must say, the cost is about 1500 euro for the whole thing, which is a little rich for my blood. I'm not a pre-war packard owner here
I am also moving to stuttgart in May, and starting a new job there, so I will be looking for a new garage/workshop. That is also going to slow me down a litte.

Hmm, Could it be that the satin finish of the dash and other metal trim aroundd the windows is normal for a clipper? In that case I may just clean it up a bit rather than taking a buffer to it.
