    Thanks, although moulding it in was an afterthought. Scott ( scooper ) told me i should mould it in.

    I am jealous. And those are my fenders. And my idea about blending in the grabber spoiler to the quarters.

    Too bad I am sitting on a heap, while his heap becomes beautiful...:(

    Yep. your fender.... Thanks Scott:bananaman. Can only use the drivers side fender. Went to change the passenger one today. cant use that one its pretty bad shape. I worked on it for a couple hours today and got nowhere with it. Way to much inner structure damage. so looking for a different one.

    I think it is so cool to see my parts on someone else's car.

    Does anyone else get a good feeling when you know your "scrap" parts are not being scrapped, but recycled in someone else's project?

    Of course, I have lots of fan's stuff on my car, too....

    I first used kitty hair to bridge the joint, then used body filler to smooth it.

    Yeah Scott the quarters, front fenders, rear spoiler ( after market one ), rear taillight panel and roof all came from something different. Plus the grabber hood has the center of a regular maverick hood grafted on it to make the cowl. Its kinda like Johnny Cash's "One peice at a time". :rofl2:
