Just had to take a brief pause and put together a little bit of the front end to see how she's going to look. Reeeeeeallllly like it. Moments like these keep the excitement high. 6 Months in and if anything have increased the amount of work on it, so that is good.
The above image is when it finally clicked that there is no way i can paint the exterior. But it does make me question the best way of trimming the rear wheel well. I want it to look as factory as possible, so I was going to cut out the curved profile and weld that back in to retain the lip. But this will obviously be hard to hide with the old paint. Cleanest might be to get over the desire of retaining the lip and just cutting it. Any thoughts?
Sketching out where I plan to trim the front bumper.
Was treated to a good view while putting it together.
