Re: UPS & FEDEX brought me goodies today
Hey! There's a wee head peerin' out at us in one'a them pix!
Nice "weight reduction" job, too, Rick.

I like the look better. Could the round thingy be a pop up air scoop.

Re: UPS & FEDEX brought me goodies today
Thanks, it really makes me feel a lot better about it's looks.
Wow Jack - congrats on the 'Great Pumpkin' status!
Yes, I'll be teaching it to squat real soon, maybe this coming weekend - especially if the new exhaust unit doesn't arrive by then.
The round dealie is just a temporary patch, until I can either replace the hood, fix it permanently (weld) or put on a big monster scoop!
Thanks Tony, I was at a loss about what to do, then I thought hey -I have some high density rubber here I could use as a back plate and screw the lights in on an angle.
It's not perfect, but it works.
Cutting the channels that had the front bumper mounts was the worst part of it. The sawzall cut through just fine until it reached the bottoms. Then it wasn't fun.
I sprayed it behind the grill with the brown rustoleum, just to prevent rust until I get a can of flat black. Probably today. I need to respray the black under the doors anyway!

Re: UPS & FEDEX brought me goodies today
Thanks Bibber,
Oh I was going to mention about how much water came out when I cut into those channels (the bumper mounts).
WOW - it was a deluge! I was cutting from underneath, thinking I could get it cut back behind the radiator. That didn't work out but wow, a flood of water came out!
They really engineered some great places to hold water in these little cars!

That car is just incredible. It's really looking good.
I don't even see the wood blocks under the back bumper, and I don't really notice the pizza pie.
Sharp car.

Re: UPS & FEDEX brought me goodies today
Thanks Donn, it makes me smile.
Heh. I didn't do the wood blocks.
I decided the bumper gives the illusion of them being there so why bother?
Maybe when I have everything else done and my MGC restored and I'm wondering what else I can do I will go ahead and make the wood blocks and attach them...
