What am I missing?

Thanks guys. Would you agree that the wood at the corner bracket should be at least 2" wide? This kit was purchased from Bratton's, but not sure who actually makes it.

Hey guys! When installing the right and left side header boards, I'm finding that the boards are only about 1-1/2" wide at the header corner bracket. Since these boards are mounted with 2" bolts, the bolts protrude and push the sheet metal away from the board. Any suggestions? Thanks, Brent

Thanks Terry. I think I'll at least take it down to the primer. Thoughts on paper/methods for removing the lacquer? Also, can you elaborate on the two colors? Brent

My dad did the painting to this point and it's likely we'll finish it together. Since things have changed so much since he last painted, I was hoping to get the groups thoughts on how to proceed.

So, I've gotten the sheet metal including the doors, cowl, hood, etc. fitting pretty well. In general, I believe the sheet metal is in pretty good shape. Part of the car has been painted black lacquer and part of it is in spotty primer and filler...this was done probably 20 years ago. As I pick...

OK, so last year I was completely overwhelmed and unprepared for the size of the fall meet in Hershey (first one) and spent my time just stumbling through. I understand that things are really scattered, but is there any information that would help me focus only on those booths/vendors dedicated...

According to the schedule, it's shown as the first line of each day as running 8-5. See link below... http://hubcitymodelaclub.com/marc-meet-2017/schedule-of-events/

Well, I got an original splash shield and have the same problem. After looking a bit more, it seems like the mounting bolts/spacers I got from Macs vary in length. Obviously there are 2 long ones and 2 short ones, but both long ones are different and both short ones are different. I may grind...

Thanks, seems like that might be my only option.

Maybe I didn't explain correctly, but it's not the length of the sides, it's the hole placement.

Thanks Tom, they do have a slight curve to them, but I'm wondering if I should ty to pick up a better one, maybe in Gettysburg. If not, any recommendations for a good repro? Thanks again.

Some additional photos...

Thanks Ken, I appreciate that. I did some additional checking this morning. This is a '30 Tudor. All fender bolts are loose and the light bar fits good. I ran a straight edge along the fender and it looks good, not so with the shield. I also measured about 1-1/4" from the fender bolt hole to...

Seems like the holes are too close together which spreads the front point. I'll do some fiddling tomorrow and get better pics to share.
