The "headlight area" is rounded on the outside
...& mostly straight on the other side
...but, on an angle

So, I "stacked" some "strips"

Made 'em rounded on (1) side
...& mostly "straighter" on the other

I used some Saw-Glu (*Registered Trademark) (wood glue & saw dust) as/for "body filler"

Closer up(per) view

After lots & lots & lots & lots & lots & lots & lots & lots & lots & lots...of sanding
...I went ahead & sealed 'er the whole thing up, with some primer

Ducky helped pick out the paint

Step (1) 'framing"

Step (2) colorin' in, the "spaces"

It’s 1970s kinda cool. In a Partridge Family kind of way.

Wanted to "point out" some "body work" detail

Like, notice the big 'ole "gap" along where the hood meets the fender "area"
...& where the hood & fender meet-up with the headlight?

Well...this is the other side (didn't get any pics of that side)

Up(per) closer view
I think it looks pretty goodly

* Also, whilst cleanin' up, I noticed the wood strips (on my first body plug mold) swelling up & spreadin' out even more

That "shyt" wants OUT

That MDF is not moisture's friend. It's like "super" cardboard, basically.

I agree your problem is moisture and humidity. It looks like you got some serious shrinkage going on?
