Looks good but i woulda boxed the frame. It may look like its strong when your dad hopped on but an impact will easily destroy that

sorry if this was already answered but are you doing full color match on the bumper and plastics? it is looking good! i like how the upper bumper plastic has a much more snug fit to the fenders. was this due to the way it mounted or did you mount it higher on your own for that look?

yess i will color match the bumper too but thats in the future due to other expenses i have to take care of..the bumper can mount as low as you want or as high to close the gap you just have to do the math to figure out how low to weld the bumper mounts what i did what mesure the difference it the height of the two bumper caps and then subtract about a 1/4" to close up the gap alittle better

soo i went this morning to pick up my hood and grille and i see the hood and i was amazed at how sweet it looked..butt...then i look closely and theres a couple of drips so the guy told me it wasnt ready yet and that if i can pick it up until sunday because it still needed to get buffed. what i diddnt like was that it was originally suppose to be ready since thursday but i gave them two extra days and they still couldnt get it finished..now for the grill the guy was unmasking the take and a piece of paint came of with the tape and some tape was ontop of the chrome soo you see a small strip of unpainted chrome i ddnt like that at all..the guy was trying to tell me thats the risk when painting chrome as an excuse..because it was when he peeled the tape of where he made the mistake to not mask it right..he said he will redo the grille and have it on tuesday :emotions122: i was exited to have it all today and now i have to wait until tomarrow for the hood and tuesday for the grille

thanks guys..in the pic the drip isnt visible anymore it was buffed out but he had to repaint the spot thats the line that you might be talking about..i saw a couple of cars he painted before and he can really paint nice and has good work..but his excuse for the drip was that he needed to put another car in the paint booth and rushed it which caused the drip..but yeaa they told me it would be ready since friday but the customer service with this guy is terrible i just want to get my parts already

It's really looking good. I do like the two tone look on the hood tho.
