[QUOTE="Jr. Corvette, post: 236406, member: 1906"] Hi guys! So it took a little longer than I thought but I finished the bumper! After I glassed the cut halves of the bumperettes over, I made a mold using two pieces of steel and some parchment paper and glassed the top of the exhaust exits. Then I trimmed the fiberglass and made another mold using masking and packing tape then glassed the front of the exhaust exit. Finally I made a third mold using styrofoam to get the shape of the inside of the exhaust exits. Once that was all done I applied some short strand filler to get the shape. I am extremely happy with how this bumper came out. It's just like I imagined it. One little touch that will go largely unnoticed is the double bump on each side, on the bottom of the bumper. I designed this after the closed flags emblem (see picture below). After the bumper was all done I epoxied it in place. After that I marked the location of the new wing, drilled some holes, and mounted it in place. It's starting to look really close to my concept drawing. Next I'm going to finish fiberglassing the quarter panels. I have to do a bit of work in this area as the new flared fenders have the wrong body lines and are missing some details. [/QUOTE]
