Once all of the sheet metal was fitted and components in place, it was time to start on the bumpers.
The sides of the front bumper were cut off and brought in to tuck them in tighter to the body. http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/s...ture219641.jpg http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/s...ture219648.jpg http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/s...ture219724.jpg We then cut the center portion of the bumper out to eliminate the license plate recess and create a new style line. http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/s...ture219734.jpg http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/s...e/DSC_0023.jpg http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/s...e/DSC_0022.jpg http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/s...e/DSC_0025.jpg |
Next, we fabbed up a sheet metal lower spoiler that followed the shape of the bumper.

Cleaned up the inner fenders and created a beaded opening around the control arms.

Roadster Shop quality is second to none!! Definately a cut above the rest.:beavis::beavis:
|
I really like that bumper cut out and the chin spoiler. Looks so aggressive.

Do you re-weld on the brackets to the firewall that the front fender bolts to? I love that smooth firewall, do you just leave existing and weld this one on?

I have a question that I have to ask....
You have taken the time to blast the car to bare metal, then you do all the mock up and fabrication work with it still in bare metal. I noticed in some of the pictures that the guys are not wearing gloves while working on the car and I can already see rust forming where there finger prints are. How do you prep the car before primer when you are done with all the fabrication and it is time for body work to commence? You guys do amazing work. I am trying to learn how some of the shops handle this since I see so many cars in bare steel for so long at this stage. I was always taught that once blasted it is best to epoxy/etch the parts asap. I also always wear latex gloves when working with bare steel so I don't leave those finger prints in the steel. Thanks, Glenn |
Man you guys sure do crank through one great build after another! Awesome work!
