Bye!

Empty car bay... sniff!

Now I have room to clean and refinsh all the parts!

LOL! love that oil stain!

Not an oil stain... just a dirty old towel on the floor!

suuuuuuurrrrrreee, Karl.

I hacked into Defense Logistics Command's central mainframe and requested a high-resolution image from the Air Force's Keyhole 7 military satellite network.

Resolution: 1 foot

hey, why are you selling the gt valence on ebay?

aren't you doing a gt-conversion on your car?

I had two.

Sold the 2nd one.

who'dya get the other from?

The second pic looks like it should have a chalk outline.

One came from Patrick Motorsports, the other from AA.

What is the ETA to the get the car back from the shop??

Mike

I had the FBI digitally enhance the Keyhole 7 photo and this is what I discovered.

I think this was the work of one Mike Mueller!

Karl,

If I remember correctly, you were going to back date to early bumpers, then decided to go with fiberglass instead. What have you learned about fiberglass quality? Are you keeping the AA or Patrick piece? I'd like to move away from the big baby bumpers on my 76 and would really like to know who makes the best FG pieces.

Mike

I just did the back dating to early bumpers. I got a front fiberglass bumper from HighPreformanceHouse that was sweet. Fit and finish was excellent. I had a few pics with it on posted. I then got the early chrome bumper from Korijo and a nice rubber top from Rich and installed that. Damn Seattle drivers park by sound and where banging into the fiberglass unit and I didn't want it wrecked. I'll stick it back on for racing.
Brad has said they lay their own glass on their own nice molds, the results show.

I had only purchased the front valence piece from AA.

I purchased a complete set of all valences and rockers from Patrick. I decided to keep and use the Patrick pieces since they were all made by the same person.

The body guy said the Patrick pieces were great. One thing to look out for is being sure they are sufficiently thick and rigid.

Also, some people have made molds from molds from molds and you have a 4th generation piece. Sometimes they end up being slightly smaller than they should.

Fit and finish were fine from both vendors.

Note: neither of them had provisions for mounting to your car body, so you will need either fabricate and glass in some mounting brackets, or mount with Dzus (spelling?) connectors.
