Enterra "Dark Shadow" Restore Thread (Page 16/65) Archie JAN 04, 01:40 PM We got a lot done in the last weeks or so. Been working on the nose, hood & front fenders. When working on the front fenders, we found another oneof the famous quickie patch jobs.... With the associated cracks on the inside & outside Here we are working on putting more of the lips for mounting the inner fender wells.... As we noticed when the car first got here the hood had a lot of flex in it. The hood moved around when openor closed & the headlight door rattled because they didn't have anything to close down onto. This was all on our list of things to fix. The inner & outer parts of the hood were bonded together in a few places with bondo & in other areas they were left without a bond, so the hood has a lot of flex between the inner & outer panels. In the areas we were going to glass, we had to grind all the paint off of the surfaces & get down into the bondo area to give the fiberglass some bite. Here Kris is putting the last layer of glass over the cracks inside the nose. Right now Kris is putting the front fenders & nose back on so we can see how he new surfaces adjasent to the gaps are looking & what we have to do to make them look better than new. Archie mwzephyr JAN 04, 02:09 PM I like your fiberglass skills! troyboy JAN 04, 05:27 PM Thanks for the update Archie, you guys are doing an awesome job!! I can't wait to see what you do with the tail light mod. With the right wheels, interior and power plant Lisa is going to have one nice ride.

With the right wheels, interior and power plant Lisa is going to have one nice ride. I would expect that we might be getting into fitting the tail lights sometime this week. We are fitting the front fenders & nose to to get all the refurbed seams & gaps where they need to be. It will take some more work but it's coming along. Archie Lady Lisa JAN 06, 08:06 PM Thanks Archie for the updates & all the work you and your workers are doing. It seems like a lot of work but I'm am happy with what I see. Keep up the good work.

This week is a full week, so it'll be nice. Archie exoticse JAN 07, 10:36 AM Maybe i missed it, but are you guys reusing the original tail lights or using something new ?? I saw the above pic, but was not clear if they are being refurbished ? troyboy JAN 07, 11:01 AM The ones in the above pic are new custom sequential LED tail lights (just dusty), the old cavalier tail lights are in the trash . 2.5 JAN 07, 11:05 AM quote Originally posted by Archie: Archie Those tailights are going to be awesome. Archie JAN 07, 11:37 AM quote Originally posted by troyboy: The ones in the above pic are new custom sequential LED tail lights (just dusty), That's exactly right. With dust in the air from working fiberglass & as dry as it is right now, the static electricity just has dust sticking to anything plastic. Archie
