Hello again, just a quick update on the continuing work.

Today I worked on the hood latches I mentioned in my last post. I started with a pattern to gauge where to put the latches for the most aesthetically pleasing location....
I built the rear latch ball mounts 1st as I thought they would be the most difficult. I got them completed and have just started on the front ones. I think that the front ones will probably turn out to be a touch more difficult as they need a set back of an inch or so and as they will be more prominent when the hood is open, I want them to be less utilitarian and more visually pleasing.

Anyways, more to come as I think I will get the front mounts completed tomorrow.
Stay safe,
Steve
