After making the panels around the radiator, I was able to finish up the nose panels, then move onto the panels for the oil cooler shroud.
This is about it for alloy work forward of the rad.  |

Craig
You are a master......😎
Comment, on original cars the alloy under door hinge is two peice. Allows the hinge pin to fit through bottom.
You have the angle to be able to insert?
Just an FYI before installing.

Jeff,
good point, just not there yet, as you point out there needs to be a cut made to make clearance for the door hinge bolt to be installed and removal.
I like to make the floor board in one part then cut, I just find it a little easier to hold and fold everything.
Here is a picture of the cut that needs to be made, this is the floor board from one of our other 427 cars. |

cobrakiwi,
How long does it take you to make a roller from start to finish?

Hard to say really, all depends on options and the big one is some of the vendors I use.
Also it seems I always have two or more projects going at the same time, including my own cars.
I would like to get to a point were I have a small quantity of parts in stock ready to go.
Thanks |

tech tip
Today's Car building Tech Tip, measure at least 4 times then cut your holes!
Got to mount the hood scoop today, this process requires measuring a lot, then with a steady hand cut the holes.

The old apprenticeship days, I kind of miss them actually, you had to stay on your toes in our shop back in the day, if not it always ended in embarrassment or pain! 
Thanks for the comments. |
