After much feedback, all very positive, I decided to move forward with Concept 1A, much as I liked them all I felt this was nicer balance. I really liked black bar front, not so much back, opposite for color coded version (and Greg Weld liked it best ). But I will seriously consider doing 3 different sets of bumpers to trial on car when the time comes.

Had Ben do another update, put Grip Rebel rims on Concept 1, pulled Z28 stripes back to factory position, moved vents forward, color coded door handles, so this is now "final" rendering.

Ben has been great to work with, highly recommend him to anyone thinking of getting a rendering done

I like the way the hood looks better this way. I like the vents going closer to the nose and the factory stripes look better not so far up in the nose imo. Looks great.

And i'm also with you on the rear bumpers, i'm leaning towards colored, but the jury's still out....going be a fun build to watch. 68's 69's and 70's are my favorite F body's

The journey begins. Rusty cowl out, front floor plans out. Started on removing quarters.
Good news, no more ugly found. Once rusty bits are all removed, car will be media blasted again and then primed. Good opportunity to get to some unreachable places to give a protective coating

I love the exhaust on this one and when it moves around it won't rattle on the car.

Plus it looks bad ass

Well we did find some fugly. When they modded the quarters they also hacked in to the trunk drop offs. But as was commented they did such a good job with the fibreglass it was hard to tell until quarter panel was unpicked. The evidence of how much was hacked off

Unfortunately I was unable to get AMD drop offs, the Taiwanese ones don't appear to fit great, but won't be seen

The shop is knocking over a few "paying" jobs and hope to get really stuck in to it next week

Rear quarter was trial fitted and appears to fit very well.

Now trunk drop offs are here, can do quarters and wheel tubs, also decided to replace trunk floor, rather than repair a few rust holes.
