Front Spoiler
 
I believe we looked at Penny and agreed that we liked the clean look with out a spoiler.

The factory ones are cheap.. $25 each.. I've broken two so far. Well, actually Bret broke one of them. lol

My new policy is to run the el cheapo on at auto-x events or no spoiler. One thing it does really well is keep bugs from squishing on the suspension. Without a front spoiler I have to go under the car and wash all the dead bugs off of my control arms, rack and such. It's a PITA.

Sometimes no front spoiler will give the illusion that the front of the car is higher than it really is.

Here's a picture with no front spoiler...

Honestly without the bumper I think the spoiler looks a little weird/out of place.

I figured Penny shouldn't have to hear that kinda talk!
:D

In those shots Penny sure looks to have alot of body roll. Time for higher rate springs?

Here's a quick few pics of the car. There really isn't much to see at this stage, we're just sanding parts and getting them ready for next week, when we'll be documenting the repair areas with Chuck Vranas for Camaro Performer, and I'll post some pics of the repairs then. The week after we'll be spraying some paint. Then there'll be lots to see :yes:

Here's a couple pics of the drip rail after we scraped the seam sealer out of it. The seam sealer was all the way to the top of the rail.

Well at least My steering wheel may make it into magazine..............

Keep up the great work guys!

Thanks for the pics!!
 
Progress is good!! Man I'm glad to see the seam sealer totally gone! Guys, you wouldn't believe how full the joints were on the car! Chris told me that it 'expanded over night'...but the real question is, why he would paint the car after seeing how bad the sealer job was the next day? There was no better time to fix it...hell it's not like he was in a hurry he had the car for 5 months! I'm thinking that he didn't really dig out the first sealer that failed (like he promised he would do and says he did), but just ran the new sealer over the old and that's why EVERY joint was filled.

Pete, I'm sure that digging out all the sealer wasn't a real fun job, thanks for doing it though!! :thumbsup:

Let me know what day Chuck will be there!! :cheers:
