I straightened out the front bulkhead a little bit. Also, now that I'm getting better at bodywork, I re-did the upper grille block. I straightened the hood, and now it sits correctly on the driver's side. The passenger's side headlight-to-hood gap shrank, but didn't disappear.

Call me crazy, but I think I can feel the aerodynamic difference (primarily in my mpg gauge) with the smaller panel gaps up front.

Here's a before/after picture:





Bondo a couple of low spots, slap two coats of paint on there, and she'll be pretty, by my standards.

Pretty enough for me to start work on the boat tail in earnest? We'll see.
