All we are doing currently at the moment is flatening out all the surfaces so that when we start applying all the chemicals and fiberglass, we will be able to pull off a mould that we can make multiple copies of.

We are off to a great start getting all the measurements almost done in all, but we still have a ways to go.

The main thing now is that we are looking into plexan and joint fiberglas for the grill with multiple options...

She feels the same right now, however she is very grumpy. Going to have gallbladder surgery on July 30th and have it removed. Maybe things will get back to normal (I hope).
Thanks for asking Coady

That's cool. I'm not trying to poo-poo your project or anything, just offering advice.

I've been thinking about the design and these two photoshops since the last time we worked on the bumper. I'm not satisfied with the top "horizontal" surface in the middle, just above where it comes to a point on the front. On the yellow car it is just too flat. That's the way the bumper is looking now.



I think it is time for an eleventh-hour change and add more of an upward pointing point in that area and blend it down to the front. I don't know if that makes any sense but I promise it will make it better.

You know what would be a nice addition to this bumper?
A Pontiac emblem shaped sidemarker like on the old GTO's.
