Can see the low spot I have to address on this side.


Also this best shows how the front part is sitting too high around the Willys pressing and needs to come down.


The same profile taken from the opposite side shows up the low spot here.


Using this dolly I made not on the end as shown, but down at the Willys stamping to get it down. I make sure I only hammer over the dip in the dolly. Did actually use it to raise the low spot at this end too, but with the piece turned over.


Can see how it is come down nicely. I have had to bend the card as the curved part on the right angles in toward the left to form the V shape for the windscreen.


Looks a lot better now and double checked using a laser level to make sure it was level left to right at the joins.


With the area around the Willys stamping now down, it flows better.


The other side is pretty good now too and will do the final tune up of both sides once welded.

Amazing progress Marcus. I've recently purchase an old 1963 Gladiator J200. I might hit you up for some advice/tips.

Thanks for sharing.
