Ok guys, I kinda slack with the updated on the car on the message boards. Its just kinda a hassle since I don't have the internet and I have to pair to my phone and transfer all the pics to the computer, resize, and convert them to a format I can upload. Anyways I've been busy so lets hop in.

Picking up where I left off last time I got the car stripped down with the craptastic epoxy that the blaster applied that was flaking off and then into sealer. Also the bare metal was sealed to stop the surface rust.







With that out of the way I was able to get the driver quarter metal finished by pick and file and with the stud gun on areas with no back access.











The passenger side was the same process. Final fit, zip screw, trim, weld, metal finish, seal.














With the quarters in place I needed to finish up retucking the bumper. Since I did the wide body on the car I needed to modify the pockets to be a little deeper and trim the bumper ends accordingly. I didn't get great pictures when I did the driver side so I'll run down the passenger side. With the bumper bolted in place I tapped off the metal around to make a template. Transferring that to some sheet metal I got everything cut out and clamped into place before welding and metal finishing everything.












Now with the bumper squared away I moved onto the door handles. I'm running C6 style release buttons so I needed a pocket to get my fingers into. Starting with a shape the same angle as the stock gills and not the NACA duct I made a tape pattern to get me in the ball park. It took some work and time, but I like how they came out.
