Also decided to permanently attach my fiberglass rear bumper since the not so cheap thing didn't fit worth a damn
Still got to do sanding there and filling, and sanding...and...uhhh.. lotsa work.
Thinking about putting the oil cooler for the diff behind the license plate frame (and cutting the center of that section out), then move the plate somewhere below it but I'm not 100% certain it'll look good. I need to find a place for the diff cooler and maybe also for a tranny cooler... decisions decisions. Also still need to fit the dry sump tank, as it looks now I will have to cut the trunk floor.

Glass work is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. I did some mods to the flare section, I laminated a couple of layers on the edge so I can get a nice rounded of lip, I hate the flat sides like the stock fenders have. Also trimmed it so it ties exactly into the section just behind the door. It's going a whole lot better than I could have ever hoped. There are no air bubbles in my flare yippie 
I glassed up the antenna hole, don't need no stinking radio when you got V8 fm playing loud.
Next will be the other side, then the front and then I will have to make close fitting enclosures to duct to and from the intercoolers. Side skirts are on the list too. Been thinking about putting a slight notch in the frame and run a muffler exit under there. I have oval tubed mufflers so they won't sit very low. Only thing I have to do is modify the floor because there's a lower sections where the seat belt retractors on early models went, it's gotta go. I will then mold the skirt to closely fit around the muffler exit.
