Per Mark BEX ....
I will have to buy some front panels and start the nose bodywork, as the CAD is suggesting that the radiator/condenser are too tall where they are located.

I am ordering new front panels, just have to wait until they find them, price them, then get them ...
I can not do much until I get them into my hands as they are required for numbers of very important clearance checks, radiator, chassis, suspension, steering ....

I was asked how I mod the panels, I take a section out of the bonnet (hood) and front bar roughly like this (picture 1).
Note it leaves the grille in a somewhat familiar shape (picture 2)....

In Response to this comment :
"I can see removing and then reconnecting the outer parts can be a time consuming process ..... once you get into production and need a growing number of them, do you foresee finding a company who will produce them for you ?"
Mark BEX stated :
I'm only doing it once, twice if if i have to make changes, then it's a pattern to make fiberglass molds from.

Fenders are now on their way.

That's a bit better, real steel fenders ...
But, I have to order the headlights now, as a quick look tells me I might have clearance issues behind where the headlights will sit. Clearly there is a couple of other clearance issues, none of them a big problem.
