The spoiler is in. Still need to work on the gaps and inner structure but it is coming along.

Not much to show for updates on the last couple weeks. The finish welding is done on the spoiler opening and they have been working on the rear wheel arches. The back of the car was 1/2" lower on the driver's rear and they needed to straighten that out. They are now able to finish off the lower sections of the quarter panels. We are going to lower the rocker panels down to the lowest part of the pinch welds to make the car seem lower. I will have pictures of that later.

I have been working on straightening an early egg crate grill to use in the car. I am not sure I will get it to the point where I want it to be so I have ordered a new one. It is being shipped directly to a facility in Tennessee to have some custom touches done to it. It will likely be a couple months before they are done with it but when I get it I will show the modifications I planned. It should be really cool and goes along with some of the other mods done to the car. More to come...........

I started working with a glass guy to work on the quarter window glass. it looks like the plan is to make a mold of the window opening and curvature then do a little shopping in junk yards for front windshields. He feels that we can use a windshield and cut out the area we need. It sounds pretty hard to me but he seems confident he can do it. Fingers crossed on that on because I really don't want to use plexi on the car.
