Great work, can't wait to see the final product. Ever thought about some 50mm spacers for your wheels?? (jk, 20mm spacers would probably be fine lol)

That is going to look really good when completed, nicely done. +1 on some spacers though.

Now to the bits of updates

i finally found some time away from the family a bit to continue my progress...so far im only at the 2nd stage of filling and sanding the edges...its coming pretty nicely but not completed yet...

heres the first stage of filling the bondo...connecting the fiberglass to the plastic piece itself..then i sanded it down a bit to smooth out the edges for it to flow with the curves













Ok then...Last night..i filled the 2nd layer of bondo...to fill in the small cracks and dents...and im probally gonna start sanding it later to really really smooth out the edges..









Its Almost Complete...after sanding the 2nd layer ..i might do another 3rd layer ish again to 100% make sure i fill in all the gaps and really smooth all the edges and curves out...

then hopefully i can finish and paint it...

Edit: I Forgot..Merry Christmas Everyone!! Be sure to have a safe trip...or just be safe period...have fun and make sure u make it home safely!!

Thankx Steven..

i still have lots of imperfections left...mainly smoothing it out...ill refinish this project once the weather warms up a bit...

i snapped a few more pictures of it...sorry not my nikon camera...i took it on the 4g iphone...

see how flush the bottom sits to the shifter?..or i can do better ??


Video Out showing what my iphone shows on the screen...


sorry for the blurry pictures


the top may needs to be pushed back a bit?..for more flushness ?



the unsmooth finished...



there u go...my next goal actually is to get a reverse camera on...and project it on this screen... i maybe should i go for the ipad mini?....i dont know...too many ideas...someone walk me in the straight path??..
