Message Basically everything is done with my car but the body work, which shall be done in about a month or less :) Can't wait! Anyways, this time around in the body shop, they are making the wide rear fenders, modifying and installing a kaminari rear bumper with B&B oval exhaust, and modifying and molding in the kaminari side skirts. The side skirts are also getting cut into two seperate pieces when done..one molded on as fiberglass on fiberglass to the front fender, and the other part molded on as fiberglass to metal on the rest of the side of the car. This will keep it from cracking with body flex. Also, I am keeping the body stripe, removing the rear wiper and repainting the truck lid. All trim is brand new, even the rear quarter panel windows are new, so I could get ALL the trim that goes around them...not just the bottom piece. Anyways, here are 5 lame pics. Enjoy if you care ...

1" wide front fenders. Makes a huge differenc in person. These front wheels would NOT fit with stock fenders. Nothing in the front half of the car is getting repainted. The paint and all is still perfect from the last paint job..it's just dusty from the body shop, so it looks like poo.

Kaminari rear bumper before getting cut into about 5 different pieces.

Kaminari side skirts before getting cut into about 4 different pieces each.

Not gonna need much body filler..that's one peice of metal =) Still has about 3 more days of work for it though. Also one thing..doing it this way adds a VERY minimal amount of weight to the rear of the car.

Ah yes..from the rear. This will fit those 355/25/19 tires just fine!

Anyways, wish me luck guys. One thing that is real cool about the body shop, is that they are just charging me for materials this time around (NO LABOR), since they are good friends of mine, and messed up with the overall design when they first did this. This time around, I am up there everday overseeing the work, and it is coming out even better than I expected it would. Thanks for looking guys and gals.

Thanks,
Mike
