    Thanks Rich :)

    Got the frame back from paint on monday, feels like a big step forward.
    Totte who do the paint gave me a very cool grill and radiator shell from a german 1930th something Adler car.
    Will try to mix the Adler and Ford shell to become one part later on, very interesting :)

    I think that Bob Drake has the tack strips that you need.

    Today I made a bunch of clamps for the 3/8 fuel-lines, some have 4 holes and they are made to clamp the trans-cooling lines too.
    Think the do good with some black color later on =)

    Thank you guys :) it,s going to be interesting to see how it looks when body,hood and front it together. In worst case, I can use the stock one.

    I ordered/paid some wood from Woodart like 2 weeks ago but still hasn't got any kind of response back from them.
    Anyone here that have bougth parts from them before and can tell me if I need to be worried or not ?
