5th restoration- rebodied Duesenberg

Test fitting the tub to the body showed that the new cowl tapers more sharply and the front corners of the tub touch the walls before they reach their intended location. Some filing took care of it. Should be able to think about paint soon.

We have paint. Once again, I was too hasty. should have waited longer to mask the white. Some of it peeled off with the masking tape. I'll try touch ups as I don't feel like stripping and starting again.

Very impressive looking. I like the Vee shaped windshield behind the Vee shaped radiator shell. The colors, black wall tires and all the little details are adding up to a knockout Duesenberg. 

Thank you sir. It would be better had I not fumbled the paint job.
