    Thanks buddy!!

    from this point,I believe the updates will be more frequent...the body is almost done,just missing a "small" mod in the trunk to let the gas tank 5 inches higher(y)

    So I need assemble the 4 links,make some welds and disassemble it for the powder coating in suspension parts

    then,the body goes to paint shop :yahoo:

    the body and engine bay will be gloss black..the engine is corporate blue..

    the suspension will be power coated graphite gray....I'm not sure the right color yet ..
    and the exhaust pipes will be stainless steel.

    in my head was very good! I hope it stays in "real life" too :D:D:D...(y)

    looks killer. what made you cut the bumper? different? are you supposed to have a side marker light by law there? I doubt there will even notice its gone even if you are supposed to have one. here youre supposed to have one but like I said I dont think they will notice them being gone. :thumbs2:

    Now that I realized that someone else did what I had planned to do. Do you have any pictures of what you did to the tail light panel to get those to fit and bolt up? I would love to see the steps you took to make this happen.

    Thanks

    fill_original.jpg What do you think about a little fill work on the lower bumper? I think it might tie in the fender, bumper and valance.

    the idea is good...I already thought of several things to do there.,but is a little risky and I just have this bumper(y)

    I think even then, when ready will be good

    even after it was fully ready, and I do not like it, it's easy to redo, even with the car painted.
    I rather wait than risk

    In fact, after this photo was taken, I bend a little more the fenders tip ( note,in this pictures, that the spoiler and fenders are not well aligned )
    now they are..so that space is a bit smaller.
