I'm interested, I assume the price is for the steel work only (not including plating), is there a group buy cost going for getting them re-chromed?

@Justin71 yes this is for the steel work only. I have honed my method on my way through 3 of these. There is allot of little details on these and I know now how to anticipate that as I build them..

Props to Ben
@mb911 !!!!!
His GT front bumper mods came out SWEET!!!
I’m definitely in for two.
I like the nice small tig welds...very cleanly done. Can't wait to see them chromed.
My guys are used to 1/4" to 3" plate welding and impressed with Ben's nice work.

I'm in for one but I do not have a core at the moment. I'm actively trying to find one. I need one without the holes for "tits". Thanks -

Here is Oscar's 1st bumper done. This is a huge cut out for maybe a v8 car? Either way looks good.

I got to thinking about this modification and wondered if instead of the oil cooler you went with a modified air conditioning unit. No holes cut in the trunk pan, no water scoop. It would be up front like the 911SC condenser.

Would you consider doing a steel version of the bottom portion with a flare for the fender?
I assume that you would use a stock piece and modify it?

Good you added the “without chroming” it sounded to good to be true. I almost ordered another one and I haven’t another car to even put it on.
Any progress on the matching GT valance?
