More new sheet metal

This arrived today from Moss UK. Took about 1 week after order.


Packaging. Everything arrived without shipping damage.
 

With new wing lowers costing only £58.92, I decided to get both sides. All Heritage parts except the radiator duct panel which is Steelcraft (Heritage panel not available.) Total for all the parts here was £373.84 plus £88.00 for Fedex shipping to North Carolina. Still way less than buying stateside. No duty is charged as they are classified as parts for antique cars, below the duty threshold amount, and Fedex doesn't charge import brokerage fees like carriers used by some other vendors (e.g. UPS, and DHL).
 


Unfortunately the front valance will need little work. It seems that the same press dies are used for the valance with vent holes, and to make the ones without vent holes they use something to block the holes in the tooling. This has left a shallow 'ghost' impression of the vent holes, which will need a little dolly work and possibly filler to be perfect.
