So I got the sides the other day, but it was raining ....and most of this morning. but as soon as it stopped.... I started
So its a very long process of getting them to fit but I really like the look:). And thanks to AJ I had a general idea of what to start with (he was very helpful) but put my own spin on alot of it, which i thought was easier. Any how, I got one almost "done" still have a ton! of work to do, to mold it all flush, but thats alot easier than holding SS up and marking out, and cutting, and holding, and trying to rivit it, all by my self lol. Heres some pics Walk out Cut for the "vent" (vent doesnt actually do anything, i covered it in the back) A few different angles when i cut enough and had it fall into place well enough to rivit it in Cut the rear off, extending, ran out of resin so I had to stop Started laying out the mat, getting it all ready (mainly in my head ) Started to spread the resin, but I ran out Rest of the pics are mainly how it looks now, keep in mind, I ran out of resin, I will be finishing it tomorrow along with the other side Tell me what you think I know its not everyones style .. And if anyone has questions ask its not as hard as it may look... if you have some patience .. the only "body work" experience I have is putting on my invader kit -------------------- |

When the hood was on my car I had the hood pins adjusted very tight to suck up that gap. I also put a piece of plastci under the front bumper at the top where it meets the hood. Between the to things I had the hood closed with no gap. Oh an side shirts look good.
