    Thank you Jim for the kind words, it's been a long project but the end is in sight

    Yes I just added the windscreen to it and now have to square up the front top edge as per the original. I may have to redo it as I don't think I have enough rake on the front face. Squareing the upper edge is going to help but it may not be enough.

    Thank you Francis The oil filters are mounted upside down right in front of the engine in this car and in full view, they had to be correct. As for the cowl I just used Mercury Adhesives medium Cyanoacrylate, but I rough up the mating surfaces with 180 grit to give it extra tooth for mechanical adhesion. If I would have had access to structural body adhesive I would have used that. It's just too expensive when you can no longer and borrow some from one of the techs in the back shop. No hammering at all on this, just spooned all of the curved transitions. Actually I'll take that back, the bead on the leading edge was formed with a tiny hammer.

    Finishing off the cowl for the Royal Canadian, all aluminum hand formed now with the windscreen attached. The wind screen will feature an engine turned effect once painting is completed.

    Redid the filters for the Royal Canadian, Fram HP1s, Custom mixed Createx Wicked Colors 0303 Pearl Red and 0306 Pearl Orange and now they look correct. I have also duplicated the correct Fram HP1 labels but will print them with the rest of the graphics. Fram HP1s in period were not Fram Orange like the production filters. The filter shown is the original Candy Tangerine (I'll call it that but don't actually know the correct name or paint code) But what ever it is I'm pretty close as the photo shows.

    Thank you Daniel I've spent a lot of time going over photos of the car as well as many trips to check details on the car itself (it lives about 15 minutes from my house and I can access it pretty much anytime I need to) I think the replacing of the axle is the final change I have to make. Now it's on to assembly and final painting.
