Exposed

turbo manifold is welded up and installed. I forgot to take pictures before it went in

😅 hopefully the only thing looking this good is the front. Ill leave the rest looking abit rougher. Really wanting to pull it out this year and at least drive around the block

this has to be one of the slowest builds....small update.

Slowly making progress Fender revised and partially welded Turn signal mounted

great quality fabrication in this build, enjoying the build journey

great job on the 3d print, hows the fitment? Did you scan an existing panel or do everything from dimensions?

Great looking car. Youve finished a lot in such a short time, Im jealous.

Lower part of the bumper is started. Used a fiberglass gnose to take dimensions from, happy with how everything is coming out.

@jhm @tube80z helped me out. super simple solution. For anyone in the future, double check the size of the image (1600x1200) is what i resized to

great update, love the look! how did you fasten everything down? Bolts only? or did you weld stuff to.

also started the new headlight buckets and front end, going to be using aluminum. Going to be going with a gnose styled end. Last side of my intercooler is almost all fabbed, little more welding then need to attach it.

Small update. Im probably the most undecided person, made some small changes. Happy with the progress so far.

@tube280z photo sent @NewZed will try again

I cannot post photos anymore. Not exactly sure why, it will upload the photo then give me an error once completed "Sorry, an unkown server error occured when upload this file. (Error cod: -200)

@Jboogsthethug metal work is just a hobby, couple times a month ill plug away if work isnt to busy. Im a scaffolder by trade. and thanks to the other guys for the words of encouragement

Great job, everything is looking really good.

Been practicing my metal finishing before i redo a couple more body panels. Below isnt any specific piece, just a practice panel 1) Pattern, 1/2 of the piece 2) 1/2 section roughed in 3) 1/2 section Wheeled. other section is a mirror image. 4) both 1/2 sections welded together. then finished 5) welded seam gets polished. First picture below has the weld running down the middle of the piece. Second photo is showing its overall profile. and with that I think ill be redoing the hood and from valance out of aluminum.

From what I've seen in the past this seems to be an ongoing problem with them.

@Bartman is it a spring and bag combo or strictly just bags?

progress from this past sunday

Been waiting on some fuel lines and wiring so I started plugging away on an eletrical panel inside the car as well as some asthetic pieces for the door cards and the spare tire cover.

@calZ thank you!

Front lower valance is mocked up. Forgot to take a picture of it on the car, still need to trim the section for the lights. I'm happy with how smooth everything came out.
