    We just cut out the bumperetts and welded in patch panels. It took a little dolly work to get it right but after that ...no problem.

      I have little guys so I built it with a split back seat and shoulder strap seat belts.

    Someone should do a how-to on the smooth rear valance. The kicker is creating the patch panels as they have a compound contour and either need to be dolly'd or english wheel'd to a slight bowl shape.

    Your car looks excellent in and out!
