Work in progress

Work in progress on a 1956 Austin-Healey BN2 in Ellery Engel's shop. The passenger side door is taken off one more time as well as the fender to work on the front shroud, where a couple of high spots need to be flattened. (blue tape on aluminum shroud in picture)

The bonnet is fitted here and welding and panel fitting is near final. The panels, bonnet, grille, doors and shrouds fit great, they were original to the car but some needed lots of work.

To get correct gaps the car is preloaded with 600lbs of lead to simulate the weight of the engine/transmission flexing the frame.
