Default SPI Viper Red 1965 Mustang painted 9 years ago

We are going to be changing the front nose and getting rid of the large spoiler





We will also modify the rear bumper to get a better fit and paint body color.

This is the first test fit of the customer supplied Stangaholics front apron. I had to do a lot of fiberglass grinding to clear the electric fan. It still needs to go down on the right side and up on the drivers side.

To get the front end to line up better Brian had to adjust the fenders.









I had to add a little filler to match the fenders



Epoxy primed

Brian cut the ends off the bumper and lined up the center



Since the bumper was narrow we had an old bumper that he cut out a section and welded to the back



Reshaping the end



Now he can screw it together to test fit



After a lot of welding and grinding





Epoxy primed. Next week I will do a little bodywork

The bumper came out looking flawless! What else do you have planned besides the front end changes?

That's all we are doing and it goes back to the owner.

I like the changes. Makes for a more complete and smooth appearance.
