WooHoo! Well I just talked to JimmyS today. He has kindly offered to drive a couple hours over from the other coast and help me install his Ferrari F355 Style #2 bumper (With side molding inserts) and his GT Style #1 Side Scoops. The date is going to be the last Saturday of this month, the 29th.


Of course will be taking pictures during the whole process and posting them here in the work log.

In the mean time I tackled the nasty fuzzy thing on the interior firewall.



Removing the carpet was not too bad, but man they used TONS of staples to hold it in place, and had to use needle nose pliers to get them all out. The surface was pretty smooth, but had bumps and rough spots as well. I decided to you a 1/4" fuzzy backing to help hide any blemishes when the vinyl was attached.


Laying down the vinyl was pretty basic, just cutting out and lining it all up. After it was cut to the right shape, I used 3M spray adhesive to start attaching it. I used clamps to hold it in place till it dried.


I think it came out fairly decent, and certainly an improvement over the fuzzy stuff that was on there before.


Here it is installed in the car. Not bad for a couple hours work.

Wow, It was done less than 24 hours ago, gimme a chance

Ok, here are some pictures:

First off, attaching the mesh with 2 part epoxy from the inside. (I Will have to tape them off when the car is painted)



Jimmy starting to remove the rear fender well to get to the bolts to remove the old panels:



Here is the old panel off, and no, I have NO idea why Jimmy is doing the Hula Dance there in the background!
The blue on the back quarter panel was just a rattle can test to try a blue that I had in mind for the car....




Here is the new scoop all bolted and riveted in place:



As for the front bumper, take all the bolts out, then its off with the old:




And in with the new! (I just set the parking lights in there to take this picture)


The front bumper is not attached in any way yet. It needs to be drilled and a couple small places, the fiberglass needs to be sanded for a nice clean fit. This will also give me a chance to take care of the rust, and get that all painted to help prevent it from coming back or getting worse.

I had a great time hanging out with Jimmy Dean.... err....ummm... Jimmy AND Dean rather We talked about a lot of great ideas, shared stories and chowed down on pizza. It was a great day, and look forward to going over to Jimmy's in a few weeks to help out and meet everyone that's gonna be there.


Jimmy has something in the works, that is going to be awesome when it's ready! I hope to get the first one from him when it is ready It is going to make a mod that I have had planned all along, a LOT easier! When he is ready, he will share more about it
