OK did a little more on the car tonight. Tomorrow should be the final day of sanding. 









Here's my 2 friends that have pretty much taken over the body work. Without them I'd be stuck.

Worked on it some more last night and tonight. I don't know if I'm being to anal, but everytime I think I have it looking good I find more to sand or skim. Passing a flashlight over it really shows everything.

I installed the Cobra grill insert today. I forgot to take pictures while I was doing it. I also did more skimming and sanding.

Here it is installed



I know most people use double sided tape, but I went a different route. There is 2 holes on the back of the insert that look like they are there to bolt it in. I decided to use them. I had some L shaped shelf brackets laying around. I cut them down and drilled new holes. I drilled a couple of holes in the plastic support that the headlights bolt to and bolted it in. It was a little tricky getting my fingers in there to get the nut on the bolt, but it's in there nice and tight.
