some updates for you guys!
Rear bumper and lower valance work,
I know there has been a lot of arguing as of late as to which came first the chicken or the....wait who's rear bumper came first or whos idea or what??
Well I will say this, me and Ben Hermance went back and forth on what to do on the rear bumper , because I have always hated how the rears dont even come close to matching the front so its only natural to mimic the front with the sides....lots of things are done the same on cars and its not always "copying"
..I dont know it seems that lately the "trend" has been toward building a modern interpretation of a muscle car etc.... well we are all getting inspiration from all sorts of places, oems ,high end exotics ,etc. ...should we all be taken to the wood shed for copying the rear diffuser off of the latest lambo, or that cool dash from the pagani, or that your has an LS just like mine or that our wheels are round just like yours , etc. I do see both sides and have been in the situation where I see something oddly familiar and say.....Oh cmon! , but you know what , unless you have created a perpetual motion device, hovering capabilities , or auto pilot then its not really "innovative" and is just your take on something that has been done 100 times before in some way or fashion and has had an influence on you wether directly or subconsciously ... Thats why we have so many builders if we all make our own tweaks... In the end all of us are doing what we love to do working on cars , not curing cancer , so lighten up ,if its all stress all the time then get a real job ... its a lot more profitable , just not as mutch fun
sorry for the rant heres some pics
