Default Back on it!New spoiler time!

Well,the old spoilers got tweeked in a trailer mishapp,and I finally get to start on the new ones.I started this afternoon on it and got a little done but they need to be aligned,trimmed, and have no ends or second backets yet.They are hanging though so I took a few poor pics anyways.

Your Vette and parking bumpers with NOT get along very well.

Do they actuate? The brackets make them look like they move up and down.

Yes,Like the old ones did,they will swing back and up when they hit something.It's the only way to have a non flexable spoiler.(They will hit alot of things)The only reason for the old ones getting tweeked was that the car had came out of gear on the trailer last year and came down on them from above off the trailer.They were fixable still but I wanted to improve them.I'm also considering composite bolts in a few spots.

That looks cool. The side shot (2nd pic) reminds me of a shark with it's mouth agape.

Nope. Mine's got a battery drain I haven't had time to find. That and I can't take mine. It's an '80 and they advertise nothing newer than '72.
