Got a few updates for ya.





Lots of work done here. The bumper is reworked to flow with the body better since it is sucked in so far. We are about ready to put the side profile on the rear spoiler. I think we have enough things we like to get that very important detail dialed.

Rodger does he lower part of the trunk stay in place now? I thought I remember you saying that any way. I think you guys have pulled it off from not looking like you did anything. If that made any sense??

Now that you did that to the trunk I feel like something needs to be done to the tail lights.

I think if you just got rid of the screws in the lenses it would be perfect. Something simple.

I'd weld the whole thing shut and bondo over it - Coddington style...

I'd put some 40 Ford taillights frenched in so it would look like a proper HOT ROD... but mostly - I'd just get the POS finished.

No 40 taillights,and referring to your other comment,perfection takes time,Greg you must be patient.remember the theme ;PROJECT SLOW MOTION,of course there is a way to finish the POS .....I could go to the Bank of Greg for a loan

Due to popular request here are some pics of the progress on Darrel's SuperNova.

The modified cowl for the lengthened hood.



The reshaped upper fender section that now looks more like a Camaro.


Some progress on the rear trunk and rear bumper. Lots of small details.





Before the bumper mod



This should answer the questions about the way the trunk now opens.



Greg and I both approve of this thread.
