            • Today was bumper day , these cars didn't have modern day bumpers that's for sure . Shaving the bumper bolts was the prime objective . Job done . Milestone day , the car actually backed out of the shop and into daylight !!! not pushed but put into reverse and actually driven !!!. She is dirty , I didn't wash her because I'm waiting on my order from CJ Pony parts. In my order are two seals that attach to the vent windows , which I thought that I had ordered . So I wait for them to be delivered , they should arrive Monday. Guess what ? I ordered them three years ago and I found them this afternoon !. It's funny how time flies when you're in the shop working away talking to yourself and before you know it it's getting dark and you realize that you haven't eat'n and the thought of ordering a pizza is heaven !.

                      • I honestly felt like I was going to puke while I was drilling holes in this sheet metal that I spent so much time trying to make perfect.

                        • The bumpers have been stripped , bolts shaved , and second stage of filler and sanding. The plan is to paint them body color this weekend. I played with the idea of black bumpers but silver they will be.

                              • I managed to update and program the ECU after plenty of swearing and tugging on my hair , I'm not totally on point when it comes to computers and such. I'm sure it's a lot easier than I make it out to be. Anyway she runs great. I had to pull the front fenders off to make adjusting the doors easier. The door glass frames were making contact with the rear glass frames. Simple adjustment, they fit great now. Also , I assembled the front end and looking at my options as far as grille design. CAD time. The lower turn signals are no longer turn .signals plus they are LEDs. I have LEDs for the headlights and turn signals as well as halos , which I haven't installed yet Click image for larger version  Name:	016cf84c6ebae491816a88a47d66b26c6e5d6101f4.jpg Views:	1 Size:	777.3 KB ID:	1247119Click image for larger version  Name:	01efaadc74e0ffa4c20ce31af38fa2a6814fda7f5e.jpg Views:	1 Size:	743.1 KB ID:	1247120Click image for larger version  Name:	01755f0381b3c638f6fc28d8776729e56f4743f929.jpg Views:	1 Size:	767.7 KB ID:	1247121
