Great pics Nick. Thank you for sharing them.

PROGRESS AND MORE QUESTIONS
The day was spent installing the A pillars which took some time to get right.
After this was done I did a trial fit of the dash board, screen bottom rail, and the fuel tank. Things don't exactly fit that well which was to be expected but there are a few questions regarding things.
The position of the dash where it sits against the screen bottom rail looks suspect as far as the scuttle alignment is concerned. Should the wood rail sit under the folded lip as in the picture or should it sit lower with the wood exposed above it?
With the dash in the position shown, the fuel tank sits too high at the back with a gap between the bulkhead firewall and the front face of the tank.
Do any of our more experienced restorers have any suggestions or observations that can improve the fit?
Thanks.
Stephen
