Well i don't think to many are paying attention to this thread but I'll update it anyway

so I started fitting the front bumper I bought last year... not such a good fit. I need to trim the rubber air dams(about to where my finger is pointing to in the pic below) and either cut the lower lip of the aluminum bumper or trim the bumper bringing the mesh forward... not sure which way I'm going to go yet. also need to really bend the sides inward to get them to there mounting location. not to impressed with fitment.

plan on putting in the middle radiator while I'm at since the bumper is off so i have enough cooling for the motor swap.

finally bonded one of the rear side bumper parts I made to the rear bumper. Second side should be done tonight. Then I'll start making the molds for the rear quarter panels. pics below

On a side note.. went to the porsche dealer in birmingham to convince my wife we need a new 911... succeeded

lol should be pulling the trigger at the end of summer :dance:
