			Nose is trimmed and reinstalled. Came out great.
Ready for body work.   
Also got started on the rear. Trimmed away all the glass and foam from the fender work and will add the flange's.
Photos are from the right and the left to see what needed to be trimmed away.

Going to install a sump and work on the mount.
Will need to move some brackets that I installed.
Also going to kill the polish, way to shinney.
