Happen to have drawings or a cad file on those tail light filler pieces you welded in for the one piece conversion?

  Hi Yellowfin .If you dont plan to paint your car a dark color ,you could use panel glue to attach the original taillight bezels to the taillight panel instead of making them.  :bigsmile:

Sorry, I don't have any drawings of the taillight pieces.
The shop that made the pieces for me did a bad job when measuring the bezel,so had to use many hours on grinding.


Great looking project.  I really like the rocker extensions.  I think it would look good if you put side exit exhaust on it...exiting though the lowered rocker.  I saw a Duster that was done this way and it looked really good.  :drool:  Frenching the side markers instead of removing them would look great on this car too!

Thanks!  Have thought about side exhaust,but think the exhaust will be almost identical to the drawing I have on the first page.
Side markers are already gone :D

A few step closer to get the body ready for primer and paint :)

Rearspoiler is finished and the front valance is lowered a little,also filled the gaps on top of the front valance that usually shows under the bumper :thumbsup:
Next on the list is to modify the bumpers!

Nice work on the spoiler.  :thumbsup:.  I debated on filling the front valance area under the bumper like you did , but i was concerned about the front brakes not getting enough air to cool them.  :bigsmile:

Thanks :) The front valance opening are now wider and higher,so I think more air pass through there than through the small gaps that was filled?  :)

I love the rear spoiler....Personally I'm getting tired of seeing everybody remove the side marker lights and leave the area blank. I would like to see some custom fabricated side markers like a single strip of LED's counter sunk into the panels.  Make a small steel trough wide enough to hold a single strip of LED's the same lenght as the stock markers and flush mount it to the panels....Something different, something cool  I say... :2cents: :cheers:
