1955 LEDSLED · 01-11-2011, 08:50 PM

You are making that 4 door look awesome!!!! I really like the work you have done to it. Cant wait to see the continued progress. Keep up the good work and keep posting.

aintscaird · 01-11-2011, 09:12 PM

Hey man found your post tonight,bumper looks great,hood looks great. Has really got me excited about my own projects. thanks

**robleticia** · 01-12-2011, 10:33 PM

finally got around to finish welding and grinding on the rear filler panel below the trunk here are some before and after shots. Not to crazy about the factory splash apron, that one is coming out and I am making a new flat smooth one this weekend.

51chevyrat · 01-12-2011, 10:38 PM

i just hope mine when im done with it is as cool as your! looking good!

**robleticia** · 01-12-2011, 10:46 PM

Had to go buy a die-grinder so I could grind the welds off inside the new radius. Them things work awesome! I hate it when I have to buy new tools!

Anyway, knocked the welds down and mounted the bumper back on so you could see what it looks like. No body work yet, going to wait until I finish the splash apron. It was alot of damn work for something that most people will not even realize!

Oh well, to me it was worth it!
