Body assembly part 1

We installed the front gravel pan, headlights, and minor frame components before joining the body and the frame.

We very carefully installed the headlight buckets and front gravel pan. Our headlight trim rings needed some work to make them perfect, so we could not install the bulbs just yet.

The frame was ready after we mounted the front air intake, bumper brackets, pedals linkage, emergency brake cable, and the strips of fabric between the body and frame. The previous owner of our car fabricated an incredible air intake to replace the original cardboards using sheet metal and aviation engine baffle material, so we decided to reuse it even though it was not original.

I 3D printed battery caps and a side plate with authentic Auto-Lite logos to make our battery look more vintage-y.

We used our car lift to raise the body before connecting it to the frame.

Body and frame combined!

Lots of room for engine bay accessories, just need to install them!
