The good news is I called Anvil and they told be the secret to bolting the extensions in.

The bad news is you have to cut the inner fenders then bolt, rivet, bond, or fiberglass the extensions to the inner fender.

That's the same thing they told me. A little daunting to start cutting up those inner fenders. I am planning to use 3M 8115 panel adhesive to bond mine together.

Thanks,

Almost a year. I'm still missing the lower valance too.

We've been slow at work so I've been playing with the Camaro. So far I've finished both roof/A pillar transitions, built another recess box for my InfinityBox module, and started on my rear bumper mounting and modding. Now to the pics

Driver side is the same

I've been working on this rear bumper trying to get it how I want it. I'm close now, just needs a few tweaks on the driver side then I'll be happy. I wasn't too concerned with getting the metal work perfect as I'm going to make a mold from this and do it in carbon fiber.

I also got my holes cut to mount the hood vents

And I got part of my tail lamp housing from the 3D printer

Are those hood vents from anvil?

Car looks good.

Thanks. Yes they are. I got the fiberglass ones since I was going to paint them and they weighed the same as the carbon fiber ones.

Just a quick update. I've been working on the body work aspect of the bumper as I want it as perfect as I can get it to make a mold from. Now that I have it really close I started with the fill pockets with tape patterns then marking where I want the body line.

The driver side looked to be the harder side to do because I cut a little more than I meant to, we all make McSteaks. Just a little more welding to do, but it's slow as to not warp any metal.

I finished up the driver side bumper recess today. I'm pretty happy with it, but it's not perfect.

Very nice and tasteful modifications. I'm digging how this project is coming together!

Thank you.

I got a lot done Friday night. Finished the right bumper recess then moved onto other tasks. I cut the seams for both quarters to tail panel then hammer and dollied the area to fit better then it was. After I was happy with the fitment I welded the seams for a cleaner look.

I also filled the factory emblem holes then hammer and dollied the area and metal finished it.

Saturday I wasn't feeling like working on the car, but I got the Ring Brothers trunk hinges mounted so I could start fitting the deck lit to fix the gaps. Sorry, I forgot to get a picture. I also added some safety to the car in the form of a C6 3rd brake lamp. Lots of measuring, remeasuring, cutting, hand filing, and hand sanding. I'm pretty happy with how it came out though.
