I have made the first part of the repairs to the front fenders, hood side panels, and hood. I filled the holes in the front fenders where they were cut out to allow for tire clearance. The tires touched the fenders, when Buddy applied the brakes, after the 189 mph pass on the salt. Randy will raise the car up so that now the tires will clear, and the holes are no longer needed. This will get the car back to the correct angle or stance that I had planned when I set up the rear spoiler and front end. The hood side panels had been modified a couple of times to allow for different versions of the headers. I filled in these areas and Randy will make new cutouts for the newest headers that he has made. I repaired two small areas on each side of the hood that were cut out for header clearance. I will finish all of this by doing the other half of the job, which is fiber glassing on the opposite side of the repairs. I make the repairs by beveling and fiber glassing from both sides.
I am also making a plug to go into the engine air intake on the hood, to close off that hole when the car is in transit or in storage.
My stuff will be done soon, and then parts will go to another shop for bodywork and paint.
