So are you going to mold the lower facia so that if you do crunch the front you can repair or replace it?

At this point, no. It's all one piece. Plan is not to hit anything. <fingers crossed>

At some future date, I can see how I can split it apart to make three pieces, but there's still too much to do to get it mobile first.

Hey Pavo,

It's been a while since I've seen you around. Thanx for popping in.

Yes, my mascot, Big G. . He's a picture hog and ends up photo bombing a lot of the pictures. You're the first to mention him

No pic update. The weather is good, but the going is slow. Laid some glass down for the first time this year. I'm filling some low areas on the nose, getting it flat.

Having nothing but trouble trying to get the hood to line up with the fenders. I knew it was going to be an issue, but I didn't think it was this big a deal. Damned those 3 dimensions
I think I have it close, but it will require grinding and filling.

Pics to come.

Well, today was cut short by a thunderstorm and tornado warning, but I got some good work done.

I also came to the realization that I spend more time trying to think of ways to do what I want than doing what actually needs to be done. I've found there is a slight difference between what I want and what I need to do. I don't know if that will make things go quicker or not, but it's an interesting.

As mentioned above, I'm working on setting the hood position and fixing the gaps.

Here's where I started, filling some low spots and starting to fix the height differences.


After screwing with the hood some more, I finally got a good gap and z-height along the passenger side.


But that left the fascia low, so I had to rebuild that back up.


It also helped line up the driver's side, but half was low and half was high. I ground down the high spot and filled the low spot. Also taking the opportunity to fix up the head light pod.


Where it's at when the storm rushed in.

That hoods looking really good man! I spent lotsa time thinking about how to do all the things I wanted to do to my car, and what I needed to do. Then tried to find a middle ground. Kit cars are a lotta work, both on and off the car. Ive spent waaaay too much time online looking for parts too. Keep it up man youre getting close!
