'68-69 GTO Nose - The Project Has Begun

We definately didn't want to create any MORE lift than the front end already has (too much from the factory)!!

This photoshop pic is also a main enfluence:



Something that we have agreed on from the start of this project is that too many body modifications done in the past are too hung up on specific measurements or being an exact copy of something else. Being stuck in a design that has DEMANDS such as this tend to make the car suffer in overall appeal.

One of the things we are most proud of is that this bumper IS NOT a replica of anything else! You can go back through the thread and find many pics of other cars that were our inspiration for ideas and styling but none of them were transferred to our bumper with a "written in stone" attitude. We believe that the basic car, as supplied from the factory, has lines and dimensions that need to be considered in all aspects of the design. In layman's terms, it needs to work and look right!

We want it to look "Pontiac" without being a copy and without looking like a goofy caricature of something. That is the main focus on this bumper and we hope you will agree that we are achieving it!

Another year closer to retirement, grey hairs and creases in your face.
I still want to wish you all the best for your 45th birthday, besides.....
Science has found out that birthdays are healthy because the more birthdays you can celebrate - the longer you are living.

We stood on your carport.

We worked on the bumper.

(I hope that was slow enough for ya) LOL


We worked on the filling alot of low spots in to make it even and smooth - flush if you will. We worked on making the ports under bumper even and centered. We also were able to flush up the front so that it is the same as mirrored image on both sides. We mudded up - letting it dry. May need a few more coates then we are onto the bondo. after bondo we are onto gelcoating and then we are going straight into the mould.
