Body work
 

Well I tweaked my front end just now. Spun out and went off the road. Thats the only thing I hate about having an after market fiberglass front end. I think I can fix it but its going to take a lot of work.

Its going to have to come off and the bottom lip is destroyed and will have to be recreated in one spot.
Well I wanted to customize it so I guess this is my chance.

I came over a small hill and it had a small curve to the right. It shifted into second and started spinning the ties. I let off the gas but it was too late. With the wight transfer coming over the hill and spinning the tires there wasnt much I could do but try to point it back where I wanted to be and I almost recovered, it was pointed in the other direction and if I wouldn't have ran out of pavement it would have stopped. But it hit the grass and spun back the other way, I drove it down the hill and was all clear but then it hit a dip in the ground and I heard it crunch. The car had stalled so I put it in neutral and started the car back up and drove it home.
When I got home it made me a little sick but it was my own fault. I guess its time to make my drawing come true.
Think I can make this

Out of this

The bottom half took most of the damage, the top half and the sides are very salvageable. I just have to do something with the bottom half and make it look like my concept.

This time the road took its pound of glass, but it could have been much worse.

Glad you're ok and the cars still relatively at least, in one piece:thumbsup:

That other front wouold look sweet on there:yesnod:

Lesson learned

Well I pulled the bumper off, there is a lot of damage.

The bottom half of the front of the bumper will have to be recreated. I think it will be easier to just cut out the bad part and recreate the front part.
I will have to pick up some building material and build a new vent

Ok I have to pretty much rebuild the bottom half of this bumper. I plan on getting some pink foam and after I fix the bottom and cut out the damage in the front. I will fill in the missing bumper and create my new vent.
Once I have everything I will glass it in and then remove the foam from the back side and lay up some more glass to give it strength.

The vent will be about 4 inches wider than I planned but the bigger the vent the less glass I have to lay up. Plus I want as much air flow as I can get.

I have several different thicknesses of cloth and should be able to lay up something light and then thicken it up on the back side.

Still in the planning phase. But my wife will be out of the house Wednesday until Sunday so I will need something to do :)

I was out of town and didn't get anything done.
I have to pull an engine out of another car this weekend before I can start working on the Vette again.

So stand by, more to come.

Good luck it looks like you have your hands full.

Those photos look bad but glad to hear everyone is ok.

Dang, what a mess. Please post pics when you get her done.
