Project Update, Updating pics Options

[RON S.]

Thought I'd post a few pics of my continuing (what seems like a life long project.)
Pic 1 is of the front corner,I finally got around to painting the Getty Design hood on the front that I bought last Aug.
This past weekend,after the paint had set on it about a month,I color sanded it and buffed it out.
I spent 4 hours sanding & buffing on the hood alone.
Sorry about the dark pic it was taken late in the day.
If ya look towards the cowl area of the pics,you can see the ridge beam of my carport,It's 12 feet up from the floor.

Craig,
The bumper is painted w/ centauri acrylic enamel.silver is 1974 Ford std.silver met.Top section was std.gloss black w/a flattener added,cut at 33%.
The top section had a lot of xtra mat'l where it meets the hoodline and front fender edge.
This had to be filed a little at a time.Bolt bmpr on tight mark w/pencil,area to file,remove bmpr
& file.repeat process over & over til til fit is half assed acceptable.One note,as you tighten the bmpr bolts,bmpr will begin to buckle in middle.I took a hacksaw and sawed thru the buckle to remove the stress.Then glassed over the end of the cut.Took bmpr off when hardened,flipped over and glassed backside completely up.Flipped over again and removed & cleaned up what I added to the exposed area.Nothing I've ever bought has fit as it looks in catalogs.Also,the oil cooler opening was off by about 1"between the bmpr & my valance.I had to fix it also.The getty hood was worth the money though,fine piece of workmanship.
