Patterns for new inner fenders

Looking sweet. Have you thought about putting the windshield wiper under the dash and closing off the engine compartment hole? Just a thought.

Very nice build. You went all out smoothing the engine bay out!

Those #'s by the hinges shouldn't matter. You just need to keep the VIN #'s from the front aprons.

We are going to spice in the vin plates from both aprons after the new ones are welded in, And are just going to remove those #s by the hinges.
