Just checking the nose to fender fit before starting bondo work. It is not bolted on but rather just setting on the studs. Looks to fit pretty good already.

First round of bondo on the fender. This was an nos fender with no antenna hole but it was never primes so it surface rusted and had been dented prior. For the time I have in it would have been easier to use a diff one but keeping orig parts with the car
