With the tank under the hood complete, we can move onto the bumpers.





With no radical body mods planned, much of the focus will be on the fit finish and refinement of the existing features. For example, removing the seams from the 3 piece bumper and blending it into one piece.



Tucking these bumpers closer to the body to look 'correct' requires a couple extra steps due to the side profile shape of the bumper against the body. The existing area on the fender is removed near the top edge of the bumper and we made a new piece to add a feature line to 'cheat' the body out to meet the bumper.

Time for a bit of an update...After completing the bumpers, we were at a point where we could begin to head toward some of the other custom elements on the car. After much discussion, the owner came to a decision that he was set on keeping the original paint and overall integrity of the exterior as you see it. Many of the touches we were planning as the next step (door handles, trim mods etc) in the build would have to take a back seat in order to do this. Thankfully we were at a point where we could begin to head toward completion 'as-is'.

(Plus with an LS9, IRS Biscayne dangling infront of him, we can imagine he was dying to just drive it! )

To the pics!

We are really looking forward to seeing this come together.
