Next step was to pull the engine and clean up the engine bay.

The radiator support was all bent so I removed that and am going to put new one on. Sometime in the cars life the passenger side front apron had been hit so it is all bent and mangled so I am going to replace this metal along with the radiator support.

You can see the shock tower has a big dent in it as well so that will be replaced at the same time.

yeah looks good ! Great result for home brewed work. You must have some experience with this stuff though. The rear flares came out especially nice, I wish you had shown a picture of it being bondoed. Maybe I don't have much experience with the stuff but it sure seems like you'd have to feather it out a long ways to cover up the 1/8" thick flare flange.

I think you nailed the look. Good job! :thumbsup:

Thanks! For the most part all my experience has come from working on my car but I am lucky to have the resources that I have which has forsure helped
