Default Re: Updated pics of my project

Got the front clip on tonight. We are expecting heavy freezing rain, possible hail, and if I wanted the bimmer in the garage, had to get the clip out of the way. Either that or put Sherri's bimmer outside. That ain't gonna happen.

I had to cut and buff the one part of the front fenders where the "Camaro" emblem goes before the install, because you can't access those nuts after the fender is on. I plan to hire a pro to buff the entire car after stripes are on. I wouldn't trust me at all with a high speed buffer and fresh lacquer!!!!

Nerve racking job installing the clip on a painted car. Of course, ended up with two chips (total bonehead move, long story), but both are repairable and pretty inconspicuous. Planning to wait until the front suspension is back under it and car is resting on the wheels & tires to do final gap adjustments. Preliminary looks pretty good.

Took a couple of pics of the pass fender where I buffed.
Also a couple of engine pics with the temporary air filter and the temp plug wires in place. Those yellow Accel wires look cool, so I may just leave them for a while.
