Work in progress on a 1956 Austin-Healey BN2.

Bodywork in progress in Ellery Engel's shop in Piru, California in 2006.

The passenger side door is taken off one more time as well as the fender to work on the front shroud. The bonnet with Le mans louvres 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.

The blue tape on aluminum shroud in picture marks a couple high spots that still needed to be flattened.

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