wow looking great.

Do you have any progress pics of the bumpers. 

Any details on the mirrors...those looks sharp!

I don't have pictures of the process unfortunately.
Mirrors are from Sun Specs,I bought them from Parr Automotive.

Today's project!
Started to modify a Pontiac GTO back Seat.
Had to cut away 4" of the foam and frame of the back to get it low enough,also had to modify the seat frame a little.

There is still a lot of work left,but I don't think it will look so bad when it's finished.

Its been a while since my last post here....
The car has been on hold for a while due to different things,but guess it's time to start again now!
I will post some more pictures when my Photobucket decides to work as it should.

AND....It was fun to get 5 pages of my project in Right On Magazine :ylsuper:
