Started on rear bumper today. Two step process. First was making flares off foam mold, then molding flare to bumper. Seems to be going well so far. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

After attempting to get the rockers to line up I decided to try something different. I used the GT rockers do the mold and made ends to go on the metal rockers. What do you think? It is already closer than the glass ones.

I am installing front sway bar today. Should I grease this plastic bushing? If so, what type of grease?

You should make a mold off of those rockers. Odds are you could sell plenty.

I really like the looks of the exhaust. Just seems right to me.
I've done a ton of composite work so I know what you're going through! I happen to like it... Just wanted to say: Keep up the great work! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
