After a testfit of the windshield is was obvious the left corner wasn't wright.
So, out with the grinder again. On my way again. The stuff I ordered at Hooky's wasn't in yet, so the corners are done for now. Just 4 fun, played with the front suspension 8) Paul.

Hooky delivered some nice parts 8)
To fix the window corners I ordered these repair corners. Wile I was ordering at Hooky it made sense to order the weber-windows as well. Paul.

Yesterday indeed was a good Friday, finally had some time to work on the '56.
Windowcorner left is ready. On the pic it looks rough, but IRL it is pretty smooth. Leftside of the dash is finished as well. Ready for a thin layer of lead. Then it was time to do the innerwing. It didn't fit to the heaterchanel and it was to short due bad repairs in the past. Paul.

after welding and cooling it was time for some precision grinding
it's almost straight, just needs a minimum of lead. Took me a few hours, but its's worth it. Paul.

Hi
Coming together nicely. Where did you buy the Hooky Webber windows? Steve

Today I started fixing the left quarterpanel
I couldn't find a good donor, so I had to make the best of it with the repro panels. First I shortend it. After taking some measurements from an original '54, I started hammering. Just needs a little massage Paul.

After some welding and grinding, i am very happy with the result
I still had doubts about the home made steering and changed my mind. I am going for "rack n pinion". This Peugeot 404 steering will do the trick, the round couple rubber which is original for this Peugeot as well, even has the same bolt width Paul.

Fine job. You have replaced more metal in this car than almost any project I can remember. And it all looks great.

Thanks for the compliment. When you start a project, look for the best car you can find. I already had this car (was my daily) so I had no choice.
