After several weeks of pushing, pulling, trimming, grinding and cussing; I have the front of the body almost where it looks good… OK good enough for a car built in my garage. My problem is that the nose extends beyond the radiator frame that it is supposed to attach to. If I push the nose back to fit, it bind everything up and doesn't work at all. If I were to move the whole body back it would push the hood and fenders into the windshield so I don't think that is the solution. My windshield is all the way back already.

Is anyone else running into this problem? I thought I read somewhere that someone had added a 2 in. piece of aluminum to the radiator frame for the nose to attach to. That would be about the extension I need to make it work. It actually seems to want to sit a little lower that the radiator frame too.

Any help would be appreciated. This is a PITA and by far the most challenging part of the build for me so far.
