Body, part IV

Here I am checking on the imaginary hood line. The radiator is 2 inch lower than a stock '32, and the grill shell is cut on the bottom to clear the cross member, to accommodate for the lower cowl on a model A body. You don't want the hood line to go "up-hill". I think this looks OK...

 I don't like the way the black radiator flange shows on the side of the grill shell, nor do I like to see the red crossmember thru the grille.
We have to do something about this...

A quick "eye-ball" from a distance is good to ensure the right fit and stance...

Another pet-peeve...the body color that shows thru the grille shell. We best do something about this too...
 I am not a great fan of these re-pop grille shells, but it is all that I have, and originals are getting way too expensive.

So...black out !

Yup, that looks better. Hopefully it will be full of bugs soon anyway !

Ok, fine!! Another quick eye ball...As soon as I can start it, and assuming it runs good, I can hang the head lights, front spreader bar etc, for a more finished look.
