I vote that this thread should be in the construction zone.

A ton of work...I know. At some point you'll wonder if it wouldn't have been better to just start from scratch with a foam plug.[This message has been edited by Amida (edited 05-20-2012).]

Wow !!!
That is a LOT of work...
a couple of questions:
How big are the rear tires ? they look nice
How come you decided to go with out a rear reinforcement bar ?
Why did you fiberglass the bumpers to the body ?
the reason I ask, is because I deal w/ auto accidents,
I would be afraid that if anything even minor happen,
It would be a lot more work to repair, specially on the rear w/out a reinforcement bar.

I thought the exact same thing when i saw that, granted it does look pretty good that way, but man even a minor mishap and you are in for some serious rework.

The Rear tires are 255 35 18's on 9" wide wheels. I decided to bond all the seams together for a smooth look. I knew if something ever happened it might be alittle more work because of this but i think the body will spend more time in one piece than in a accident. If a accident happens then i'll deal with it. I built this car from the inside out so i know how to put it back together. Manufacutures make it easier for body guys for insuranse purposes but this is a one off car, not mass produced, by me anyway !! LOL. Im building this for me, not for anyone else and i'll spend the extra few hours on it if there is a bender to put it back rather than have hidious body lines everywhere. Course.....thats my opinion

Hey bozzie the car looks great, and that extra detail of eliminating the lines just makes it pop that much more.
