Thank you!

Looking good!
What side marker lights are those? Will the rears be the same? I've been looking for something like that to replace the rather ugly ones that are OEM on the Volvo (and maybe the Spitfire as well).

Thanks! They are made by altissimo and found on some other Italian cars as well like the lancia fulvia. There are no side marker lights in the rear, just up front!
Rt side fender vent is constructed. Had to make this little crude hammer with some bar and a piece of coil spring to get in that very tight corner. Now to do the other side!

After the fender vents, I have changed my mind. Please carry on with the aluminizing of the Volvo P275gtb.
The new proshaper wheel is here and the anvils have been restored (they were damaged heavily in shipping!). What's different than almost all the others you can buy is the the upper adjuster (instead of on the bottom to use your foot) and 5" wide upper wheel and lower anvils vs 2 or 3". It moves the metal a lot faster and you don't need to use a rubber band on the top wheel when you want to "arrange" the metal, just extra light pressure on the top wheel and bending the metal down as you roll it through.
