Haha unfortunately it'll have to be driven like that home. Still waiting on the other two tires.

Very happy with how things are going. Will have to make adjustments to the suspension which I'm actually dreading. Took me several hours to get the alignment right last year. Constantly rolling back and forth on the alignment rack, and re starting machine just to get the numbers to look right. Might just do a string alignment this year instead.

But! For now, I'm really looking forward to seeing it all together...just gotta be patient.

I think I'm as excited to see this thing when its done as you are!
Paint tomorrow
The gelcoat wasn't prefect so they needed to be sanded, imperfections filled, sanded again, primed, and sanded a few more times but will be worth it when its finished.

**Disclaimer**
If you want flares installed on your car for the sake of the finished product this is an extra I will do before I have them painted. These posts always result in an influx of people asking me how much to paint bumpers , etc but I dont do paint jobs or work from home that I have no interest in doing. So please don't be offended if I ignore your message about how much it will cost to paint your car or fix the rust hole in your quarter panel beasue you're too cheap to bring it somewhere else.
Thx Mgmt

I'm super excited!

I honestly don't know what to say haha, very big thanks to Kenny for doing this.

NEW UPDATE!

So, more pics of the car! Flares are painted, and in the process of being installed. Some adjustments, and modifications needed still. Went by Kenny's to see it today. Oh so very happy.

Jay89 · « **Reply #60 on:** April 07, 2016, 08:21:06 am »

Thanks guys, I'm really looking forward to getting it back and seeing it out in the sun with the wheels on. Tires are on their way from bc right now. So excited

Jay89 · « **Reply #61 on:** April 09, 2016, 04:00:55 pm »

It's done! Super happy with how it turned out. Couldn't ask for more. Extremely big thanks to KennyB for doing all the work. He did an amazing job.

All that's left now is to adjust the height, camber it in a little, then alignment.

KennyB · « **Reply #62 on:** April 09, 2016, 04:16:35 pm »

It looks sooooo good, I can't stop thinking about how much I want them on my car now.

jellynuts · « **Reply #63 on:** April 09, 2016, 06:47:38 pm »

It looks great. And 04/05's were meant to be flared, Kenny. You should do it

Out of curiosity, what's involves in removing the front bumper now?

Jay89 · « **Reply #64 on:** April 09, 2016, 06:57:20 pm »

It's now on...FOREVER!!!

It's held on with screws, I think I'll just have to remove the flares to get the bumper off.

Yes Kenny should put flares on his car. It would be awesome!

KennyB · « **Reply #65 on:** April 09, 2016, 09:11:47 pm »

You'll just need to remove the two bolts that hold the flares to the bumper and it should come off, maybe the first one in the fender for some clearance. You won't need to take the whole thing off.

Looks mighty fine!

bigdark · « **Reply #69 on:** April 10, 2016, 12:49:03 am »

Wow, that looks awesome!
Great work!

Jay89 · « **Reply #70 on:** April 16, 2016, 05:22:12 pm »

Spent some time adjusting suspension to make it tuck, and sit better today so it won't damage the flares if i hit a big bump by accident.

Out comes the seats!

Max camber yo!

Dat gap. Closed it up a bit, added more camber lol

Not bad for random dart throw

All done!

Haha, I'll probably repaint them the proper color again eventually. Just lazy that's all
