The main thing I did was test fit the Sheetmetal and see what needs work.

I also did the other side but I don't have any pics. I'll post them next side.

I also straightened the hood even though it's hard to see in the pics it is a huge difference.

I took on a tin work project of my own this morning. Its the grille off of my 55 Wheatland. Not perfect but way better than it was.
 
tip for you guys straightening tin work if you use wood blocks or 2x4,4x4 and bigger or smaller to fit in places and don't use a hammer directly on the tin it will not distort as bad nor have so many dings to fill. Using a 2x4 to spank things into place will help a lot with rounded corners and opening or closing sides and edges. I use wood for that a lot with few dings or slight dents. I even use it on sheet steel used to make pipes like old silo filler pipe. Straightened out the slip section on a blower pipe one time that the farmers wife drove over with the pickup one morning just before we started chopping.
 
Yep all your projects are looking neat.
Way nice work on the grill.
Found a new small seep leak on the radiator
on the 60 Ollie after we buttoned up the
grill cone to the radiator on the front
end! Frustrating to get ahead and two steps
back... Such the luck.
Keep up the pictures and progress.
May your white stuff leave you soon.
