MUCH better on the bumper Those really complete it and look kickass. Nice use of the vertical guards in a horizontal position as well - Neat trick! I still might roll the pan underneath it though...
Should have said something earlier..
I work for a glass company and deliver all over..when I saw the cutting of that windshield I was hoping I wasnt too late...The tip I got was to use a glass cutter,even a cheap one.Score the glass lightly and keep it straight as possible.flip it over then follow the score on the other side..trying to match the one on the other side as best as possible.NEXT..pour lighter fluid over it and wait until its almost burned out...SLOWLY..and I mean SLOWLY bend the glass down...NOT all the way though..if thats not working,re-heat it.You should be able to bend it enough to get a glass cutter or a VERY sharp razor blade in between the cut...slowly cut until your done...you may have to re-heat if your working slow.The glass used in laminated safety glass...Two pieces of glass with a very thin sheet of plastic in between them.

wooow dude, that things lookin sexxy. good work
Not going with the skirts for some reason I keep throwing that one on and I always take it off lol.
Well got my junk yesterday for the grille.
To start 2 baseball bats stripped
Cut em up (didn't know they filled em with what looks like expanding foam)
Add some mesh and lights tada! Now I have to get the bat's welded up and paint the mesh black make some brackets bla bla bla and she's all good to go.

Still crazy after all these years!
Clever use of athletic equipment. What did you strip the paint with? Have you picked a color?

Awesome workmanship.
Well taking for ever to get the little ends done but finished the exhaust and took her for a spin tonight runs good. Carb needs a little tuning and just have to clean up the wiring and airlines then find some door handles and window cranks. but she's pretty much ready to rock.
Anyways back to the pictures got lots this round...
