Got a fiberglass hood and rear bumper for Xmas this morning! Time to move this project forward.

Very nice car, and theme, 95ONE!

I love driving a ****box 50/50 car, it really pisses off the drivers with big money and no talent

It's true, it does! And, they still smile when they load up that bad *** car on their fantastic rig with a bad *** truck and load up the trophy wife and kids to the big house with the Ferrari Daily driver in the garage LOL. You CANT win. ROFL. (For the Record - NOT my life)

I am just now finishing my 3 liter build. When I destroy this one I will think about it.

Don't think so, Muss, it's a 944, not a 911!
Got a big wing now, too.

I'm looking to shed 100lbs, gets me closer to my class limit.
Rear bumper saves almost 20, and around 35 on that hood.

The retro paint scheme is definitely out, I'm not enjoying bodywork 101!

Think of it like shaping a big-*** tooth!

Frank has no wisdom teeth left. That explains why he's doing his own body work.

I haven't even gotten to painting. It's the sanding that's a pain. Messed up my garage something awful. And now I'm looking for a better compressor.
Should've gone skiing....

When the memory of the sanding fades, it will have been worth it.

Speaking of, I got a couple of fillings today, and the guy etched the area on the tooth before putting the Bondo in. I'd never had a filling, so this was a new experience, as was the huge cloud of dust coming out of my mouth.

Keep a shop vac running right next to where your sanding, it helps. I put in a Ingersoll Rand Type-30 Reciprocating Air Compressor — 5 HP, 230 Volt 1 Phase, Model# 2340L5-V , quiet and puts out a ton of air.

Better for it not to be in the room with all the dust, as well. If possible.
