We are going to be changing the front nose and getting rid of the large spoiler

We will also modify the rear bumper to get a better fit and paint body color.

This is the first test fit of the customer supplied Stangaholics front apron. I had to do a lot of fiberglass grinding to clear the electric fan. It still needs to go down on the right side and up on the drivers side.

To get the front end to line up better Brian had to adjust the fenders.

I had to add a little filler to match the fenders

Epoxy primed

Brian cut the ends off the bumper and lined up the center

Since the bumper was narrow we had an old bumper that he cut out a section and welded to the back

Reshaping the end

Now he can screw it together to test fit

After a lot of welding and grinding

Epoxy primed. Next week I will do a little bodywork
