A few progress pics. These pics are actually a couple of days old.

Note that we've finally eliminated that "Hip" look on the rear fenders.

that makes the hood vent more functional (and more modern) - rather than fighting the high pressure zone infront of the windshield (those were called cowl INduction hoods for a reason)

I have been thinking of a way to blend an regular notchback quarter/sail over an existing quarter/sail along with the Archie's rocker to make my own version of a wide-body......and here it is.....sort of. I got most of it worked out in my head, but one question is how/what is used to bond an existing bumber end to the end of another bumper? Is there a "best" adhesive to use? It looks like you had the same general idea and I love it. You have given me a vision to shoot for. thanks

Using rivets, fiberglass, and expanding foam sandwitch between the two parts (PG. 7). I'm glad Archie and the Crew are giving you a clear vision to shoot for.


Yep. We're on track, hehe.

We'll do the switcheroo as soon as we can set your car back on the floor.

How about a few pics of the rocker/scoop modifications on the other side of the car?
