Completion of bodywork


It's been quite a while since I've posted, but the work has certainly not stopped. To the left you can see the primed front fenders, fence, and hood prior to leaving for the paint shop.

Thankfully, we were able to completely save both fenders, something I wasn't sure could happen, as beat up as they were. Pat is truly a craftsman and most importantly, he knows what the fender should look like.

Here's a picture of the front, head-on. Most people believe that the Cord 810/812 ultimate design is the front of the car, both from a aesthetic and technical standpoint. The retractable headlights, the coffin nose, the grill integrated into the hood all make for a beautiful design. The front wheel drive and Lycoming V8 complete the technical tour-de-force that the Cord represents.
