    Thanks! :)

    The rear valance and bumper work are now finished. The bumper is narrowed and the bumper ends are "rebuilt" to follow the body.
    And since the rear bumper got some work done,the front bumper also needed to get some attention :lol:

    Love the tucked bumpers and valance!   :ylsuper:  It makes the car lines so much cleaner.  Great job!   :ylsuper:

    Thanks guys!

    Today he finally got the front back together :woohoo:
    The front panel have been modified to fit with the 71 grille,and the lower panel top was rised to get rid of the gaps under the bumper.

    I like the later front valance smaller opening more than the '71 "open lower lip" look. I'm going to try and add corner driving lights to mine like on a Challenger.

    The convertible also had some progress since last post.

    RMS Street-Lynx was mounted with a rebuilt 8 3/4" axle .
    Spectra EFI tank is in place and the fuel lines are finished
    Moved the side mirrors a little
    Made the shaker functional

    Everything under the car was finished before the car went to paint , so whats left now is wire the hot wire harness to the car harness , and of course some assembly!

    Hoping to get it back from paint soon!

    Nice work, what prompted you to move the mirrors?

    Yeah, it looks good there. If I would have thought of it I might have done it on my Cuda.  :bigsmile:
