7074 Update - Body fitment, Breeze hood hinges, and windshield

[Gumball]

Here's a shot of 7074 from yesterday - I've been working on getting the Breeze hood hinges, windshield, and radiator support/shroud lately, as well as a bunch of other body fitment issues. I had to take this picture, since it is the first time it really looks like a car!

You're really making progress Chris.
I notice you have an angle bracket mounted in the center of your windshield right about the cowl. Is that an original piece that ties the frame to the body or is that a piece of the rod-mounted mirror assembly?

Ron - thanks, the inverted angle at the bottom of the windshield is for the center rod. I'm also looking for a pre-made bracket to attach the frame to the top of the cowl. If I can't find one already made, I'll fabricate something out of stainless and polish it. The goal is to use the same mounting point as the rod bracket - as was done with the original cars. I also added the "Beclawat" manufacturer's tag to the top center of the frame, but it's not visible in this picture. The windwings and side curtains have also all been pre-fitted, and I've ground down all of the screws to ensure that nothing protrudes into the area that will be occupied by the glass. The glass is out in this picture as this was just during mock-up.

Thanks Chris,

Very nice work!
