Here's an update on my pannel replacement.

I was thinking I should fit the tail light before I get every thing in place.... Is this a god idea?

 

YES it is a good idea.

 

Nice job. When you first posted about doing this, I was concerned that you were way over your head. Looks like you found good advice.

Definately fit the tail light assembly before the panel is fixed in place. If you have a junk spare light, bolt it in tight, then tack weld the panel.

 

Actually, the only advice i got was what was in the other thread, I just started thinking ahead about what needed to be done and how to get to that point.

Thanks though.

 

Man, I applaud your efforts!!!! You are really going through with it. I don't know very many people (other than a body shop) that would have the patience to do a job like that. Good luck with the car, and definantly keep us updated!!!!

 

I'm starting to lean towards the molding of the rear bumper too.... this whole ordeal keeps getting larger....

Just looking back at the other thread, there was ALOT of confidence in what I was undertaking.

 

Looks great! I have to do a similar job on my DD.

 

Since I had forgotten about this page.

Its getting closer to being done, took a bit of a break from the car and now getting back to finishing it.







Ditched the trim in favor of the smooth look; still trying to find marker lights that I can mold into the side of the car, that way I can finish the look

I'm not sure about the bumpers yet, I've never had any luck painting them and having the paint last so if somebody can give me some pointers I'd appreciate it


Well thats all for now.
