Any chance you might want to duplicate your close out panel from the bumper to the radiator and sell it to me and how much? I know you've tucked your front bumper and radiator type would play a part. You can pm me. By the way great craftsmenship and a very nice looking car. Would love to see more pictures.
Thanks

I did'nt see in the thread what you guys are doing for a gas cap. Did you build something or will you be using off-the-shelf for that?

Were using a black anodised Newton aircraft style cap.
Cheers Shane.

Amazing job/ craftsmanship! Any tips or tricks you would be willing to share on getting the front bumper to fit like that?

Dont they ALL fit like that! (lol) actually made new mounting brackets that mount back into the Rad support and lower stone tray,then trimmed the edges till it fit and massaged the ends of each fender a bit.

Sorry,Lenie,not really the sort of thing I could make and guarantee to fit your car, as this one has a custom rad support and hood locking system etc,I would be happy to send you some pics of the fabrication of the panel so you could get someone over there to fab one.

Thanks Shane, if you could please send any build picks of it you have to [email protected]
I've also massaged the bumper and fenders to fit close and this closeout you've fabricated would look really good. Our valances are quite similar also.
Thanks

Yeah, sure they do :) I have an original 1967 Firebird ad up on my garage wall, and after looking at your build pics I looked at the ad and noticed just how out of whack they had it- and this was in their advertisement! (you'd think they'd cheat it a bit and make it look nicer)

Thank you for the reply. Your pics/ buiild gives me an aspirational standard I need to meet (or exceed, ha ha)

Thanks again,

-Brendon
