7/19/2004 Project Blue Bird looks like a CAR again!

What can I say?!? After at least 18 months, the front clip is back where it belongs. :D She finally looks like a whole car again!

Here are the fenders, with the insides painted and the black gravel guard sprayed on. We'll give everything else inside the front wheel wells the same treatment when we do the rear wheel houses.

Fenders and header panel on and aligned

Now with the hood and the front valance in place and aligned. It took some time, but it came out very well.

We ran the t-bars down all the way to let her sit right without the motor and everything. It's SO awsome to see her back together!

I think you can tell by the smile on my face, that I'm a VERY happy camper these days!
