Working on the exhaust tip mounting.

Used washers/spacers for fine adjustment of the tip in the opening.

Some fiberglass work will have to be done to the opening as it was cut unevenly by the PO, and looks like crap.

The Tip is lined with a metal mesh but will probably have to cut the top of the tip as the muffler it to close.

Working on the wheel well openings.

Made a pattern out of the old bumper flange as it was close

Added flange to the new bunper

Wheel well opening is close, will wait until an alignment is done before fianlizing

I posted in the "Brake" section some problems that occurred with SS lines.

Yay!  ::scratch. My SS brake lines came in today.

The old lines sprung a leak, and were very thin due to rust.

Fun times a head, on the REDO.  Now brake system will be new from stem to stearn ....

Not being able to take the mess my parts area had become, spent a good bit of time organizing and cleaning up the dust.

Hung some fiberglass reinforced tarps to contain the dust. Set up an exhaust fan to keep air pressure flowing in the right direction.

Hopefully the area wont revert to the way it was before  ::toothy

Side markers - thank to Auto Pro for the picture of his fender, worth a thousand words  ::thumbup

Used a mini router.  Might add material to the inside of the fender and router more material off, to recess the fixture a little more.  ::scratch

passenger side next

more fiber glass on passenger headlight surround, pretty close

Having taken the bumper and headlights on and off the car numerous times, weld nuts were added.  Really speeds up removal of head light assembly.

Have to adjust the height of bumper on the passenger side by about 1/4.

Using rubber washers to span the void between the frame and bumper.  Will use weld nuts on frame at bumper attachment points.
