Progress in rearend... Of course I hade do re do both sides because I didn't pay attention that top of that triangle isn't straight, it's gently curved... :) I think I have to test fit fenders and all other things more often than I do now... :D

Image

I had to redo co-driver side front fenders fittings, no it is solid. Not ready in picture below... :)

Image

More to come...
