I'm thinking that the only thing i don't like is the corners of the front bumper. Been thinking about trimming them off for a while now. If they went, the bumper would look more round, I think it would look more sleek (and less ricey). Then again, i could take my usual **** retentive / demented approach and keep them for the sole purpose of making it a rice sleeper. Meening - It looks like rice, so everyone rags on it, until i blow them away.

Well, progress is slow as the body shop is backed up pretty good with work, but you will all be happy to know that the square corners on the bumper are gonna go! yay!

no, it is sitting under about 2 inches of dust. :-( I dropped by there the other day. There are still several cars in front of mine. It's only one guy there, but he does great work. Some of the cars he has done have ended up on the covers of magazines and stuff. I'll have to ask him which issues of what magazines. I've seen them, he has them framed, but i failed to notice which magazines they were. lol.

On a side note, does anyone have any idea where I can get an oil feed line about 3 feet long with 2 female -4an ends?

I take it that means you've made some substantial progress on your project then????

i didn't think it was. as long as it has been there and nothing has been done to it that i can tell, i'm guessing it belongs to someone that works there. i will stop and ask tho.

Update:

I filed my taxes and got a NICE return. My wife and I took the guy the rest of the money that I owed him - $1,100.00! So, supposedly, he'll get back to work on it by next week! I'm so stoked!
