Those bumpers look great!

I've read somewhere that chrome bumpers were a accessory back in the days that scarcely were chosen by buyers...

Thanks! I will dechrome them and paint them too expensive to rechrome and on the other hand it would not look right on an Outlaw.... ;)

Yesterday I dropped it back on all four and rolled out so I could cut and grind out the old inner panels that I need to redo. More fun cutting and grinding outside to keep the dust out of the garage… :)
Body is now fixed. Next in line is to start working new fiberglass panels to the chassis.. New territory for me.. Never done fiberglasswork before… :D

Last monday I started making a sheet of fiberglasspanel to use as inner fenders in the rear.
Yesterday I then made a template for the both sides and I was pleased to find out that the same template works for both sides! :D

So I drew the template on the fiberglass panel and cut them out.

Also decided to mock them up where they go while the panels still are flexible.

It's a good sign that the template fits both sides

Like the way you bent the fibreglass panel whilst still curing. Looks a good fit. How many attempts did that take??

Thanks. I prefer doing things only once.. Well, in this case twice as I had to make both sides... :D

Now both sides are closed from road dirt.. :D
The body is now already so rigid that I can now also put the car in the tip girl and tilt it on side so I can easier seal the front inner fenders too. Also got to put a few more layers on the rear inner fenders as they still are just one layer of 400g fiberglass.
