Did a bunch of details fitting and fine tuning of the front bumper. Probably wont see any of it in the pics. Still a couple small things I want to address.

Now that the bumper is near its final state I began making the front spoiler.

I use metal house flashing to make the 4 basic shapes of the spoiler. Also I made 2 curved pieces that will form the front corners. One panel does both front sections and a left and right panel for the sides. Then I trimmed and fitted the four main panels onto the car and cut the corners to fit the curved corner caps. Clecoed the pieces together along with some tape to hold it all in place.
I mixed up a small batch of resin to apply over the joints to hold it all together. The next step is to remove the assembly and grind rough spots off the back and then fiberglass it solid. I will use the flashing metal for a mold for the centre duct and then cut out the opening and glass it on.

Very nice work and I am looking forward to seeing the final spoiler. Also, I hope your garage is detached as my family is never happy when I come in the house after working with any type of fiberglass or epoxy and my garage is detached.

ps I am also not a fan of the smell.

My wife can't stand the smell, but the garage is detached. She said to me today... No more fiberglassing … I said .. Oh..
I work with fiberglass often at work and love working with it. The smell and the itch that others don't like doesn't bother me. I always remind her of the nail polish and acetone she uses. I always lose points on that one. lol

Thanks. It looks big and flat right now but once the holes are cut it will look even better

Yes, I agree, thanks. . Sink the grille a little deeper and clean up the bulk.. It looks smoother.

Hi all. Haven't had much time to really get big stuff done but have been working a bit on the little things.... you know... those 1000 tiny little things that need to get done to finish the big stuff.
Although, this weekend I got some real time on it. Got the bumpers nearly ready for chrome. The front needs a couple of small spots cleaned up and the rear needs a license plate light. Also did some work on the spoiler, still lots of details to do though.
