after not being able to source a NOS panel we ended up deciding to just use a solid, rust free used one. I still have a little metal bumping to do, then I'll slice Michael's original panel to get the door gap correct

SWEET!!!! I am so happy to see that panel corrected. What a mess that was. Now all that remains is the door gap and that should .... end the major body repairs. I think the oil cooler system will be next. Thanks for the pictures Scotty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Scott - can the foam be removed without pealing back the fender. I would like all the cancer causing foam out of my car.

Yes. It takes a lot of chunking with a long screwdriver, but it can be removed that way. I think I may have done that already but if not, I certainly will (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I don't mind doing it if it's still there. Sounds like a project equal to my abilities.

Nice work on the bumper. Exactly what I want for mine. So I guess we decided to do the front cooler?

That is exactly what I wanted for the front bumper. Terrific work Scotty. Oh, yeah, gonna have a GT front cooler to keep the 3.2 happy in the summer. After looking at the tons of different cooler designs out there I finally decided the GT cover was the best solution for me. Gotta get some of Shea's GT oil lines now......

Why not use a GT fiberglass bumper and valance?

Terrific question really. I am not a fan of fiberglass as it tends to develop cracks and just does not fit quite right. Additionally, weight is not an issue for this car as it is not going to be tracked at all.

If I were building a GT bodied car, and had plans to race it, maybe then I would consider glass for some of the parts.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) steel for crash protection, fit, durability, ect.

Dumb question, but are you planning on having a front license plate?
