My point is that repair will look like
when finished/painted. You'll spend more time than it's worth. Save your $$$, buy a nose/clip and start fresh. It will be cheaper & look better in the long run.
The repair looks good and the hood is great too![IMG]

Actually, to me, it looks like you are doing pretty well so far. I've done this type of work before and made it look perfect. It can be done. When you sand the repair use 40 grit under a wood sanding block to get the seams flat. The thing I would have done different is to have stripped the paint off the whole front and probably the entire car.
IMHO, you shouldn't glass-in the headlights and put them in the grill. I really hate that look. Keep 'em where they are supposed to be.
Btw, you probably should have posted this in the new "Paint/Body" section. You could let the moderator know it he will move it over if you wish.

Just because he may not have the scratch to buy a new front clip today doesn't mean he won't in the future. I don't have the spare cash right now to do a few things I'd like done on my '69, so does that mean I should sell it? 
Looking good, Wacked...keep it up
