Well, after a year or more of driving the ole rig around with some war scarred sheetmetal, I guess it is time for a change. Nick H and I rode around URE today and had a great time. Since my racing days seem to be over, probably no worse time than now to start another of my many ongoing projects. I'm telling myself this work will go quickly...
After I got home, I cut off the upper braces from the front bumper that attach to the front engine hoop. I had to do this so I could remove the grille. I'll probably not reattach those braces as I don't think the stinger will be used for any more 'rubbin's racin' action.
Next I removed the nose metal and began cutting some old but decent fenders to fit into place. Thinking of running fender flares now and perhaps a paint scheme change. Very undecided. So, here are a few pics of today's progress:
