The Ford is still hovering above the floor but i can assemble and install the front end/axle now, the blacksmith straightened it. He pressed it (cold) in a 100 ton press. I was watching, with that force the axle bent back so easy like it is made of rubber! Before, the perch bolts had to be removed to remove the wishbone, this was done with heat and a press, they were super stuck but finally came out without being damaged. Also the tie rod was bent, i straightened it today in a small shop press.
And i made some progress with the grill and frenched headlights in the last weeks, looks good already but more sanding/filler/sanding… is neccessary, i just put some flat black on to see how it will look, i couldn‘t resist.
