Not much to report ,slow going . Waiting for a few more parts and I want to get the rear third built . The Samurai fenders have a lot of different shapes and folds . The door hinge bolts through the fender and its a rust collector . This is the good side Had more work on the right one Metal work on the hood is finished , I'll wait to do all the filler at the same time . Here is the start of the fender stretch needed to make new bottoms for the fenders More to come

Too bad you couldn't find something more stout for that bump stop to attach to. LOL!
Some tidy brake line work. Why change the orientation of the flex line fitting? Was too tight to the axle tube?
