Since most of the sub assemblies were already prepared (except for the engine). I was able to set the pieces together to make sure everything fit right. In retrospect, this should have been done before I painted. I would not have thought that there would be a problem with the fit of the new fenders. The build tolerances are not the most precise, so it should not have surprised me that there was a problem.
From the picture you can see that the right fender does not fit down against the running board. Its too late now, a spacer will have to be fabricated.
The original input shaft stud mount bearing was completely shot. This consequently wore down the shaft, which had to be repaired with welding in more material, and then machined down again. Otherwise, the input shaft fit right back in place.
Otherwise parts fit back in position as they were originally. Its starting to look more like just a collection of parts now.
