Right now I'm trying to relocate my Martial arts school, I think I have a place. I had one and went to the guy to get started with first payment and he wasn't there. the next day he calls me to inform me that someone just walked in the morning that the phone call and paid to the place with a check. Now, I'm out looking for another place and have about 9 days to find it and get a form of curency exchange.

Well how much does that suck?!!
I have an idea for our next project! I'll need a Jeep/Hummer style front bumper for my Fiero dune buggy. How cool would that be?
Well, I found a place for my school. This time I went ahead and bought it for the rest of the month out. Now it's just a moving of stuff things. Should be moved in by this thursday night, ready for Friday night classes. yeah!!
Love it, I definitely am interested, although, did you decide on inserts and what kind, I would be one without inserts, I'm planning on fabricating some out of plexiglass

We do not have any particular grill insert design that will be our "basic" pieces included in the price of the kit. I have an idea for a plexiglass grill but I haven't moved forward on it at all. I haven't even done any drawings of it yet.
I was thinking about plexiglass or wire frame, or both, btw I'm new here, this was actually the project that inspired me to join
WOW!! That is a huge compliment! I appreciate it. I hope that when it is completed, you will think it was worthy of your interest.
As for an update, my GT is all back together and running without codes! School starts again in three days but I don't have classes Friday-Sunday or any evenings. Depending on what my homework load looks like, I should theoretically have some work time available. Jason is busy settling into his new business location. We'll be talking soon about when our free times might coincide. I doubt we'll do much until it warms up a bit anyway. My carport is open on three sides so there's no way to heat it. It is probably more important for the materials to be warm than it is for us. We have had to re-do lots of work because of uneven drying which caused big cracks. No sense in trying to work under those conditions. It would just be more wasted time.
Do you have a target date on when you may be offering these to the world. Couldn't find anything for a date you were shooting for.
We wanted them to be available before this past Christmas but that obviously didn't happen. There really isn't any way to project when we'll be done. We work on it when we both have spare time, at the same time. Life gets in the way.
Sorry, this is is more of a hobby build than a professional operation. We have limited funds, materials, tools, space, time, and talent. We ARE both still stoked about this project but again, life gets in the way.
The semester is coming to an end! The days are getting warmer but it's time for that mad scramble to get everything completed and turned in. I thought I was going to do an engine swap in May but I've not gotten that call yet. The job I'm shooting for won't begin until June so we may be back on this project very shortly and May just might be very productive! I know CrazyDragn is "itching" to get covered in sanding dust again!
In all of the photoshop pics the middle fin is mounded into the bumper smooth. In the prototype it just kinda pops out from the front. Love the look, just with the way the middle just pops out of nowhere it looks kinda.... huh..... Lego-ish. Just my 2c.

I'm going for an older Pontiac look. Back in the day, the center popped out.

O ok, now I see what your saying. Well I'm sure like most everyone else on here I want to see it finished. So quit your job, stop working on everything else and get this done. LOL
How about posting a picture of how it currently looks so that people's interest will be piqued, and we won't have to dig through several pages to find a picture?
Had a big hail storm here. Baseball sized hail. Cracked the windshield in my DD GT. The iGTO is fine. I also just went back on five tens so my time and energy just got reduced.
CrazyDragn's custom fastback was recently broken into while waiting at a shop for an engine swap. I don't know the extent of the damage or loss.
We have both had very tight schedules that have been impossible to synchronize.
I will go out and take a few shots and post them today.
It is a sad day in the development of the iGTO bumper. CrazyDragn and I have both come to the conclusion that our personal lives will not allow us to complete this project at this time.
However, hope springs eternal because this car and all rights to our work and design is for sale! Someone please buy this car or at least the bumper portion and continue pumping life into this well-received concept!
