Time to fit the shell together,I like to hold a gap at least as wide as the sheet metal is thick. but I may have gone a little overboard here.

But it turned out OK, I tightened up the curve of the hood a little too much will dela with that later. I cut 4inches out of the fuel tank I like how it doesn't stick out past the body now.

Still need to do something to that fender and that tire and wheel looks way too small.

Gonna be a great build! Johnny cash would be proud, one piece at a time.
