Lookie here!

Looks like they are pulling the motor. See the strap?

Or putting it back in ......... again

In the lower picture, on the right, you see a hand sticking up.
Photo bomb?

It's up in the air and on a lift, but maybe setting on two jack stands.
It doesn't look like the lifts front support is touching. Can't tell about the rear lift support.

Good catch Willie;

In the lower picture, the motor is out of it, and the jack stands you're looking at are the tall trans jack type.
On the left bottom corner of the picture, that looks like the top of a ladder.
They're working on the underside of it.

Lookie here!

It will be difficult to know where the nose is. I hope I don't bump into things because I can't see the nose.

I miss the flare around the wheel opening.

Is the door completely closed? The gap between the door and body do not appear to be the same all around the door.

I think it's a temporary mounting -- no hardware in place. Yes, it sure looks crooked. But if it's hanging from one hinge or not securely tightened, that would account for it.

At this point it's held together with vice grips, c-clamps, clecos and tape. I don't think fit and finish should be of any concern. It seems to me the nose has more rake than the P4. Looks like there's very little difference between the angle of the hood and the windshield. Of course since the hood is not in place it may make look even more sharply raked. Keeping the nose out of trouble will be a challenge.

"Keeping the nose out of trouble will be a challenge." This might be a problem because I plan on storing mine in my 5th wheel toy hauler. I wonder if the nose is easily taken off?
