Made myself a bondo spreader on the CNC at work. Hopefully it helps me get the 3 pieces of the spoiler matching perfect. Should be a lot easier than what I have been doing...
Hood openings need work too. I'm trying to finish up the spoiler before moving on to the next issue, but I may be able to save some time by ordering a new nose. I'm still not excited about using the one I have. There are some waves in it, and has tiny little cracks when you sand it all the way down to the urethane. Wondering if a different nose will fit at the hood differently. The nose I'm looking at is the Stinger fiberglass one (same place that made my hood).

I'm very skeptical about fiberglass aftermarket parts, most I've seen are race car -quality meaning fitment is bad but it doesn't matter since not meant for show car. Good luck

judging by the massage work he did to the door. i'm pretty sure he can handle a little fiberglass bumper
the only thing i dont like is its not flexible. i'm terrible about pulling my car in the garage, i always hit something i'd be afraid to mangle the crap out of that bumper thats why i havent repainted mine or care to at this point.

I finally had a chance to read this thread so I'm bringing it back. Awesome work, looks great!
I have mad respect for the bodywork, I'm at that stage in my project as well. Fill, sand, damn still too low, repeat...
I've always dug that body style. Its gonna be a beast!

So, no updates in forever. Been plugging along with progress. Gonna do this by pasting a bunch of nastyz posts:
Happy with the spoiler now. Check.
Ordered some hardware from boltdepot.com to rebuild my hinges. They have a TON of stuff. And I'm actually going to order some 3/8 brass washers and drill them to 1/2 because these 1/2 ones are huuuuge.
So, I like the way the hinges work now. I drilled all the 3/8 holes in the hinges to 1/2 and used a 1/2" shoulder bolt with a 3/8 stud. Plan is to blast and powdercoat the hinges, assemble, and tack the nut to the bolt when done. Maybe threadlocker would be better though. I haven't decided yet.
I posted in BS about an illustration I did with some 20" ZL1 wheels. Totally loving the concave face and the blacked out look. Looks pissed off. NASTY! But I was a little worried that 20" wheels would just look too big.
So I had a friend come over and I tried the stock SS 20s...
No bueno.
Too big.
