Just got back from checking out the B4 fenders.

Image

Check out how he has tied the B4 rear bumper into the B3 bumper utilizing part of both pieces.

Image
Image

Still a bit of work to do, but I'm pleased.

Image

And check out how he transitioned the doors into the rear fender!

More progress today. I asked for a nice transition into the rear bumper which will match the side skirts and here it is!

Primer is scheduled to go on the car tonight and I'll go take pictures tomorrow. Looking good!

I wonder what they used to glue the two pieces together. Did they tell you? Looks like they are doing a great job, can't wait to see it all done!

Lol, yeah. Think of hank as a grocery store.....you go in thinking "I only have 5 bucks, all I need is a gallon of milk.". Then you come out with a shopping cart full of junk food and all your rent money gone.

Now it's really starting to take shape and you get a glimpse of what it will look like.

The rear bumper is impressive.

Goes in the booth tonight for full paint. Once that's done I have to go in to help show him how the side skirts will go on. There are a couple things I don't like, but overall I'm fairly happy.

1. The welding of the old fender into the new made the inside edge of the new fender somewhat bumpy. It's not noticeable until you get down and look at it. One side is better than the other too. As long as the wheels don't rub, I'm not overly concerned.

2. I wish the rear part of the fender flared out just a bit more.

I'm still happy overall though.
