anyone notice the shaved pissers? that was actually hard to do because the hood flexes when you wet sand and makes it hard to feather edge the shave.

1StGenCL: yeah mesh, but looking to do clears in the inner holes for signals.

Looks great!

I take it that your "new" CL will only be a "fair weather" ride (since you shaved the windshield washer nozzles).

Looks like you're getting close to finishing the body. What plans do you have for the engine (or is that a secret)?

not doing too much on the engine, just some bolt on stuff, and some chrome add on pieces. thinking about buffing the intake manifold too. just want it to look nice. i dont plan on racing it too much. more of a show car to promote the business if you know what i mean.

it will be a trailer queen for at least 1 year, with some local cruising here and there. hopefully getting painted tuesday! thanks for all the replies!

Nice work! That bumper really complements the cL. Good idea shaving the vents. Keeps it simple, yet aggressive.
