FYI, the wiper motor lobes face downward and you seem to have the right wiper blade pointing the wrong way. They should both 'rest' inwards.

The later wiper motors were installed this way. Notice the indent on the frame. Photo is from a previous post by Phil Waterman

After looking over some photos I see what you mean about the resting position of the arms. I’ll get that switched.

I finished up getting the hood, grill and nose all painted up in POR today. The new made panel fitted up perfectly into the nose.

Big thanks to a fellow MLU’er for taking the time to draw up the nose shroud for me. I’m now able to make a brand new one. I managed to make up the top and bottom parts today.

I also took advantage of the very nice weather today and got all the nose parts sprayed that lovely light hue colour.

The nose/cowl shroud is coming along nicely. I finished cutting out and bending up the two side panels today. Now I just need to do some final fitting and welding them up.
