Happy 4th!! 

More of the same on the REDO.

Passenger side - A little different.  Added 6 - 1.5  layers on the backside, then grind on the top to bring the surface level with the head light.

Up higher on the headlight opposite problem added 3 - 1.5 layers.

Adding 4  - 1.5 layer to backside.... hope this will be the last.

Wall in between    glad when it is done to much like real work

Needed to fix the gap between the fender and headlight. 

Added 2 layers of 1.5 to the back side.  Sand.  Then added 2 layers of 1.5 to the front.  Sand Then 2 layers of 1.5 to the back side.

Added another bracket for an attachment point, to the fender.

Worked on repairing a retaining wall while waiting for the fiber glass to set up.  55 -  63 lb blocks kicked my a$$!

But wait there is more... 

The headlight needs to be adjusted up as the fender sticks up about 1/4. 

or the fender needs to be taken down or a combination of both

[Simple Man]

Looking at a Murcielago hood and headlight alignment.  It appears the glass lines up with the end of the hood.

Mine appears to off by 1/4 inch.

The gap between the hood and the bumper is good. So probably move the headlight up 1/4, to fix this

[Simple Man]

I moved the upper fender attachment points in by about a 1/4 of and inch.

The front bumper looks great, it really changes the whole look of the car.

Thanks!  I think it looks great!!

The front bumper looks great, it really changes the whole look of the car.

Mounting the Murci-Me front bumper went pretty smoothly.

Added a little bit bigger flange to the bumper

With everything bolted up, some fiberglass work needed.  The way it is attached the REDO is flush with the MM bumper.

Will adjust the bolt hole in, and see if the gaps decrease.  Probably will, but then will have to add fiberglass to the outside edge of the REDO so it is flush with the bumper.

Sometimes the excitement  of the build is over whelming ....

For the E brake system, made a bracket that will be welded to the side of the cradle. 

Final one will be 1-2 inches off of the cradle, or not...

Then measure for the cables so they can be ordered.
