Awesome work. I'm anxious to see this one done. I have a soft spot for those Chevelles.

The rear bumper is underway. Chris sketched up some ideas that will really set off the rear of this car.



Not too much of the original metal left here!


The bumper has been narrowed and tucked tight to the body. Now working on fabbing a new sheet metal center section for the bumper.

Norm, we will generally either buy 2 sets of weatherstrip for the car (one for mock up and the other for final assembly use) or we will figure out the thickness of what the weatherstrip is and then tape rubber or shims in place to act as the weatherstrip.

Some further progress on the rear bumper. It is just about completed at this point. We need to go back and fine tune the gaps and final mount the bumper and lower valance. Then begin on the center exhaust tip.





Splitters added to the recessed area
