The replacement passenger fender apron arrived yesterday. I spent some time fitting it today. I was able to get the measurements from the cowl to the front of the firewall pretty close. The new apron is a nice thick gauge metal, but I'm thinking it isn't Dynacorn. The driver's side apron is a much sharper stamping with a lot less wrinkling. The new one is also one piece where the driver's side is two pieces spot welded together.
I was able to get the crossmember pretty straight.
After straightening out the crossmember, I refitted the aprons and radiator support. I brought out the fenders to see how it all looked. I picked up these fenders in Dallas as a set along with a hood from a '66 GT. They're in better shape than my originals, but they'll still need some work.
In other news, the roof is in a bit of a sorry state. This is what happens when your father-in-law uses a car as an ad hoc storage unit. How would the body wizards among you handle this?
