    I also dropped the gas tank so that I can do some welding in the trunk and while the tank was out I decided to clean it up a bit and check for holes.

    I got the bumper bolts in and filled the holes from the bumper guards. I think it looks a whole lot better now.

    I borrowed a scoop from a local club member so that I can make a pair of fiberglass ones. Anyone know the distance from the front of the scoop to the side of the hood?

    Chris,
    You may want to also post this question in the body shop section. You may get better response. I think it will look hot with those scoops on it. Good choice!! :2thumbs:

    I sandblasted the bottom of the fender, quarter, and the rocker panel on the drivers side.

    That looks like it will be a nice driver once you get the rust repaired & a quick paint job on it. :thumbsup:
