    How was the fit between the reveal on the rear "cowl" and the reveal on the quarter where they butt up to each other, as well as where the reveal at the top of the front cowl side meets the side of the fuel tank? Adjustment needed?

    At the risk of getting flamed for a really stupid question (one of my personal specialties)....... why did you start with panels and the subframe rather than just get a complete body?
    Is it to perfect the fit and finish compared to what Brookville consider 'good-enough'? Are they that much worse than Henry's original?
    Anyway, subscribed and looking forward to regular updates over the rest of the build.

    Is that upper door to quarter gap correction done in lead or steel?
     
  24. I would need a huge pile of that dust for my COE. Maybe a little in the gas tank to. O wait, I don't have a tank yet. I wish my sheet metal was in that condition to. Nice projest.
