I have another minor update.
http://www.vetteprojects.com/cthulhu/images/frame-off/2010/feb/1/feb1.html
and this time I have a question as well.
please take a look at the last few pictures. My "new" inner fender does not have a notch on the drivers side wheras my old one does. I'm not sure what this notch was for. Can anyone who has a 69 look at the notch and tell me what its purpose is?
I'm not sure about the notch but I can't wait to see that puppy when its done!

Still dont know what the notch is for. thought it might have something to do with the front lighting harness, but the assembly manual doesnt show the notch and shows the wiring runnign above it. I really dont see any use for it... so until I find out otherwise I am not going to bother glassing in a section of the old skirts into the new ones. (but I will save it just in case)
I did a lot of work today. I'm Getting ready to start fitting the nose.

Ben, super job! I have enjoy your album from when I first joined.
So by time this car is done, that support crew of yours will be ready to shake it down for you 
Great to see it's also a family project, they all will be so proud knowing just how much work has gone into this car.
And why no pictures of the Black Widow?
Great job!
