Never ending project

Thanks guys!

I have given up on chroming the bumpers for now. I was thinking of black chrome paint, but with the cost and the fact that it will just get chipped off, I decided to just paint them to match the body for now.

I need some sand/abrasive for the blaster. I hope to have the bumpers fitted next week


Thanks MalibuSSwagon!..............I plan on running IROC wheels if they fit properly with my B-body spindle/brake setup. My front track is slightly wider

man that wagon is lookin sick!!!

im a sucker for all blacked out cars, i call it the "stealth" look lol

and that black grill especially makes the car look 10x better imo

good job on the build, it makes me jealous

I finally got a little work done yesterday, blasted the bumpers, filled the top holes in the rear bumper, and welded the ends up on the rear. I'm not happy with the front bumper fitment, but it is going on any. I will likely pick up another front and try it again this winter, but for now it's good enough.

I hope to get the back sides and braces coated in POR15 tonight and the rest painted by the weekend

I was going to do another coat, but the bugs moved in on me, Oh well, I will assemble the brackets and mounts on monday, and if needed I will nib it off and give em another squirt

It's comin' together. Did you also collapse the energy absorbers in order to tuck the bumper closer to the body?

Yes I did. It looks much better with them squashed in, but I'm gonna need you to post my bail the first time some dip sh*t rams me in the *ss :lol: A lot less protection this way :shock:

Yeah, I know what you mean. Although, it's got to have more protection than a fiberglass roll pan with little to no support back there.

WOW! Nice work man! I will most certainly be taking lessons from this thread when I'm doing my car!

It's awesome that you posted so many pics of your progress!
