more taring down today.
both bumpers removed
ill have to work on this some :(
when doing the front bumper for the first time, all i have to say is FSM FTW
off with the fender (again, FSM FTW)
and the reason i removed it...
had to reattach the tab on the back, and fix a crack on the front
(and on a side note, i discovered i DIDNT have a water leak in the trunk... it was antifreez that leaked oner the winter
)

looks excellent. I can't wait. I need to save up money to build a paint booth here in rochester so I can import a painter
I also have my white parts on order with the paint master should he get back there.

Today was a productive day indeed 
I got the new door edged
re hinged and mounted (I desided to re-use because i couldnt get all the oil spray coating off of the white ones, and i didnt want to have any flaking later and white showing through)
a little 3M tape to reattach the window rubber.
and some assembly
now onto the dent work
first step is to block the areas to help find the dents and to make sure the filler bonds
now filled & blocked smooth
you would have no idea how hard it is to keep the line in the center of the hood perfect, asspecialy at the front curved area
