Found me a deal I couldn't pass up on this exhaust cover, not 670 but will help greatly to align everything as it's much more rigid than the fiberglass one I have! Hopefully I can alter the fiberglass one to look similar to the 670 and swap it out after!

Pulled out my tail lights and new grills, figured I'd check the fitment. Little massaging here and there and they fit well. These are gonna help a bunch with aligning the rear quarters to the bumper.

Took the car out for some vitamin D! Honestly was very standoffish on putting it in my drive as it's a little embarrassing showing it in its very incomplete state with parts mostly laying on top  :LL: but she needed a bath! It's been soaking up dust for the past 3 yrs since I moved! My area is a very popular cruise route during the summer months and was very surprised at the amount of heads it turned in its current state, definitely motivating!!!  ::bounce

Thanks Pedro, I got a few more pieces in the mail today, hopefully that part acquisition process is starting to slow and more progress becomes a reality! I am however glad I got my hands on these rear grills cause it highlights how far off my quarters are! It's pieces like this that make the puzzle really come together!!!  ::beers

Awesome progress on the batwings and parts acquisition.  You really scored on that rear window.

Decided it was time to bond the batwings together, I started by glassing in my hinge mounts, then fiberglassed a lip towards the outer edges to give the upper something to bond to. I then roughed up both sides and duraglased the two halves together.

Also scored this very thick rear window glass. With that I have all of my glass accounted for!

I then made tabs, each piece varies so it took longer than I would have liked but got them all done and hit them with some paint to prevent any unnecessary rust.

I started work on the 670 front grills by shaping the lasered mesh Carlos made for me.

What a difference with the hood hinged like that, great job.  Those hinges that Carlos makes are awesome and work just like the OEM ones.

Thanks Auto! They are great and glad I was able to get a set! I'll be working with the front grills he made as well!  ;)

Here are some pics of my hood installed, works great but I still have to add support to the fenders. Some adjustments will be needed but am very happy!  ::bounce

My front hinges are now assembled, welded, and coated to prevent further rust. I was able to install all of the hood components without to many issues  ::beers
