My truck is finished

My truck is finally finished. It drives wonderfully; and, is so much more useful to me, now.
If you can stand my less than perfect video skills, I've linked them below:

Cool! Thanks for the videos. I like the way you preserved the original look. And that tilt front end has me thinking.

That is some nice work you did there. I really like the tilting front clip. I see that you cut the fenders to accomplish the tilt, how did you handle the resulting seam and what does it look like with the clip closed?

Re: Photo Journey of my R120

Thanks for your kind interest. My friend and mechanic executed all the work on this truck. The tilting front hood was something that
he wanted to do from the beginning. It actually took him about a 5 week period (working in his spare time).
There is a lot of reinforcement on the inside of the front clip, in order to keep it ridged. The metal, where the
cut is located, is finished with molding strip.
I've added another album, which contains exterior shots of the hood closed, so you could
see what how it looks. Also-

That looks pretty good. The molding is a good solution to the seam.
