Nolan, Where di you get your supplies, I'm going to embark on some body work aswell i was just curious as too where i could pick up supplies cheap.

Thanks, also how do you think you are going to apply your stage 2 mouldings?, i was thinking those self tapping screws along the top of the moulding, and the bottom i would clamp.

Comealongway:

I purchased the body fillers and fiberglass from Partsource and the primer etc. from Calgary Autobody Supply which is by McKnight and 19th. Ave N.E.

It is my understanding that the stage two trim pieces can be attached using urethane adhesive (the stuff they use on windshields) as is bonds well and is flexible.


Fiero1Fan:

Sorry about the withdrawl, I'll see what I can do this week end.

Ok I have an update! Yes believe it or not it's a real live actual update. I have done some work on the fenders and the stage 2 scoops.

The stage 2 scoops come without any of the mounting holes drilled. You will have to use the stock pieces as a measuring template to mark out the locations on the stage 2 pieces.

Here is the upper edge of the stock panel:

And here is the new panel marked out:

Here is the lower edge of the stock panel:

And the new panel marked out:

I then used my drill press to drill out the holes:

The oval holes and the notches were then cut out using a dremmel tool with a cutoff disk:

Some additional sanding and prep work was then done and the scoops and fenders were then cleaned for primering. Here are some shots after the primer was applied:

See Nice and clean:

Let me ask you this...how do you keep the garage so clean with all the sanding dust? My garage...whole house actually is covered in dust after I do any sanding. I can't stand it. How do you deal with it??

By the way the hood look awesome. I did my hood vent and it didn't come out that nice. I had to have it redone by a professional.
