3/28/09: I just completed cutting out the openings for the turn signals, fog lights and vents.
It turned out pretty good. Next it will require finish sanding. I plan on mounting the fog lights to
the body, but crafting mounting hardware for the headlights after the body is permanently mounted.
06/23/12: The last part of the bumper was to install a steel guard around the lower portion of the
car. This will help protect against any bottoming out from bumps, driveways and trailers. Here I
fabricated a 1 1/4" steel tube around the inside of the car and welded it into the main chassis. You can tow
or put a jack under it and lift the entire car. I didn't put any hockey pucks underneath as other builders have
done as I don't believe it will do any good on bumps or trailers. We'll see.
7/14/12: The front bumper and the lights are all installed. The electrical is all
complete except for the horn. At this time, I chose not to wire the lower fog light. Maybe later, there
are more important things to work on now. It's starting to look like a real car!
