Cool!
Or to say it with the words of Robert Duvall: "I love the smell of glue in the morning!"

No way Dupes ,a nice rainy day and the Mrs. doing her own thing only means a lot of uninterrupted bench time.

Anthony thank you.Had to cut out a piece in the center of the grill to pull the sides in so the hood would line up right and the floor would sit flat on the frame .Have a few gaps that will need to be filled,no big problem I hope .Also need to cut the rear exhaust as it doesn't fit it all.

Tony glad to have you along!!! ;)I'll see what I can do after i sort out some fit issues.Have to move the storages boxes on both sides of the frame as they interfere with the front fenders. This bad boy is starting to put up a fight but I'm keeping my patience with it.

Looking good the Leon, despite the fight you are dealing with. Judging form you pic...... There is a bit of an alignment issue you are dealing with. the ends of the frame aren't different lengths are they? Looks like the seats line up with the frame and the hood/fenders follow the bumper unless this is optical in the pic. Good luck with the beat down session...

Todd thank you bro .The seats weren't fully positioned in the pic and the frame is square and the same length.The problem was I glued the trany on and it shifted up a bit and was hitting the floor board.A little filing on top of the trany and everything is playing nice now.
