'68-69 GTO Nose - The Project has Begun! (Page 25/60)

I don't understand the "sledghammer" remark. This thing basically just came out of the cardboard form that we used to hold the foam while it set up. We've just made a few rough cuts and have a long way to go before it will be time to pull the scalpel out of the tool box. I appreciate constructive criticism and will consider all suggestions. Thanks for watching. If we never sell ONE of these, it doesn't matter. We are doing what we want and enjoying every minute of it! I think that's what it's really all about.

LOL yeah I agree, my old professional woodworking colleague affectionately referred to them as "Jap Slappers" They are AMAZING saws and make a typical handsaw look like it has teeth made from rubber. Especially in something like foam it would just rip thru. I have a small one as well as the large one I believe it is called a dozuki or something like that LOL...peace

Got some work done today. I think we're on the right path.

We started by leveling the car. We went by the rocker panels, the rear trunk surround, and the radiator mount.









We broke our sledge hammer last session so we had to resort to other precision instruments.



Here we drew the general placement and size of the grill openings.



After that, we worked on the driver's side. We left the center section undone so we can match it to the other side later.
