Wow!  Those body color bumpers really set that thing off!   :bananasmi
Yea, I agree.  One thing that held me back was the high price, but being an originalfront and rear rubber bumper car, the previous owner gave me a bashed up rear bumper, but the front bumper was still going to be $$$.  Managed to sledgehammer the rear bumper back into the correct shape, and touch it up with this rubber compound to get the shape right.  It isnt perfect, but considering the condition it was in, it fits reasonably well.  The front bumper is just a fiberglass one from aarfiberglass.... the fit on the passenger side was a little off, but overall, it is a pretty nice product, and far cheaper than a real elastomeric bumper.  We fiberglassed in some metal supports to give the bumper the ability to possibly withstand a minor parking lot accident and not ruin the grille.

I have been a slacker as far as taking pictures, but here are the newest pictures.  With the state of the economy, it is a strain for me to buy the interior.  At this point, interior and a few trim pieces are all that is left.

Good pics.  I know it is hard not to try to finish but just keep plugging along at a pace you can afford and it will all come together.   :bananasmi

That's beautiful man :)  I like the color matching bumpers; they give your car identity :thumbsup: Not that being a 'cuda isn't all the identity she needs, mind you :cheers:
