Oh were these a pain to get out
then realized I didn't have the right bushings... so I ordered and went onto the next.... bumper
first cut a space
then cut and weld the old bumper brackets in place
and the reason why - I'm keeping the pop up lights but making them lighter and not reliant on vacuum
first remove everything inside
then start test fitting
this opens perfectly that if I was using the stock lights and bezel, it'd fit
my hope is to build brackets so that someone could simply buy the linear actuators, cut a slot then put it in their car as well... and thinking very cheap, like less then $25 cheap (for the brackets - the actuators are $40 each)...

for some reason I can't add anything to my trailer build, so I'll add it here since on Thursday I'm picking up something plastic and French for a friend
silly me thought all connectors were the same.... nope but it will work for now
in other news, I got the parts from Aiden American so installed them

finish up the suspension
tighten it down and level it up
so I can go onto the next 'big' thing
this side is good enough, not perfect, just good enough
this side is terrible
no going back now
first test fit
second fit
much better
what they did wrong was not do the same wheel opening side to side, the left side had a hook at about 2 o'clock.... cut, slice, dice and move forward so it's a radius and it's 'fixed' next up a lot of epoxy
then onto this issue
the hood doesn't follow the shape of the fenders... it's like they all got together and decided to use the one Corvette that was no other
ah well, I have epoxy, fabric and I know how to use it....

so I didn't want to wait until it warms up so I bought colder glue
glue it, pin it, wait 40 minutes if 40 degrees
and it's there
next up fiberglass the inside of the fender (which I am NOT looking forward to), then fill the seam and start body work.... and raise the scoop... and do the rear fenders.... and do the rear floor....Doing it all wrong since 1966
