Thanks Vince, it was a vision and now it's reality ... black wrap will put this hood over the top! Hopefully ...


Persistance ... another word for not giving up! Or I could be a little stubborn ... had to try the wrap again with my new found knowledge, take a look ....


BIG tip ... don't take the wrap off the paper until you need it and NO HEAT until you are ready to set the adhesive!!!

Complex curves cause these wrinkles ... just have to work each one out one at a time!

Working with the lip and reading the wrinkles and applying pressure to relieve the tension ... fingers worked best!

Didn't get them all out but still learning ...


I have to keep on keeping on and get the other side done ...

Hey thanks a lot! The radiator is an Entropy LS conversion.


Good garage day ... did some body work on the extension and the header, I'll put some epoxy on these tomorrow, the wrap definitely shows the imperfections just as paint does ...

More experience w the vinyl on the wiper valance, this one was tough, had one Mulligan but overall came out great, take a look ...


Still have to cut the slots out ... this is one tough part to wrap cuz of the vents mainly.

Coat of epoxy and wrap them just like Christmas!


I'm gonna make some waffles now, thanks for looking ....

Thanks Wayne, this wrap thing is pretty cool once you learn how to read the tension of the wrap .... more to come!

Thanks Mikael, I'm trying ...



The obligatory photo shoot ... after I finished the body work on the front valance and extension I noticed I'd sanded through the primer on the driver's fender ... so it got primer also.


Thinking I'm getting better at body working these parts ... finally!



Mo better ... shiny!


So once these are dry I'll wrap them and get the front sheet metal installed . Getting closer, thanks for looking ...
