That front panel is the cowling in front of your feet. If you chop down the pillars but not the cowling the car body won't fit back on as the front of the body have more panel than the sides.

You can just about make out the front quarter panels either side of it.

Got the body on today for a trial fit. Pretty stoked on it and the body looks level which is a bonus!

So! Haven't done much for a while due to being in an outta jobs and in an outta home. But been taken on permanently somewhere and me with swmbo have settled in to our own place now.

I squared up the 3 months rent I owed on the unit, tidied up all the sh!t which wasn't mine in my bay and could actually get to the thing for the first time in months.

I quickly whipped the body off again, put the steering box and rods on and tidied up the heater channels.

I also raised the front suspension leaves on the adjusters so the panhead wasn't dragging anymore. Body back on = great, but the steering box fouls on the bonnet due to the head extender so isn't sitting quite square.

Next job is figure that out and stick the body back to the heater channels.
