Here's a bump hoping she will respond.....I bought her bumper cover that she removed (probably 5 yrs ago), and I still haven't put it on yet, so I know how projects get relegated to the back burner and are hard to get going again. I'm hoping and now working towards finishing my car for it's 50th birthday.....in two years....April of '27

At one point I remember reading in this thread excerpts of the paper they were writing; highly political and religious dissertations about being a transvestite. The threads were removed with guidance to discuss in off-topic or religion, and it seems they moved on…

I wonder if there is anyone in her neck of the woods that would be willing to check. She may have become discouraged because the back end was taking so long to finish . I think the car would still be cool with rubber bumper front.

Hello c3Tris4,

I really think it would be wise to start you own thread.
People are always interested in the kind of work you're doing!!!

You know, I always liked the idea of a 78 and up car with a chrome rear bumper but to me while it still looks kind of cool , I really like the pace car spoiler with that window. Perhaps someone could computer generate how that would look.
