Will the bumper be in the original location on the body as compared to the grille and valance?

Yes, see post before last. The one with the jack. No tucking anticipated but he will probably fit it a wee bit closer than stock if possible.

That straight-on view made me do a double-take because you can't tell how much it drops. Slick builds custom frames for super-low bagged pickups fairly often at home so he has lots of practice at making things look like they belong. I told him it is beautiful. Now they are planning to move the rear frame crossmember (came just tacked in, I think) two inches rearward. Not sure what thats all about but hey I put mounts back there! The car is sure to be a stunner, dark as night when done.

They are going to use the original pair of body mount nuts on the tail member now.

Not to be picky, but I would LOVE to know how far that tie rod is screwed into the tie rod end .....

I think you can call in on Nikki Sixx's late night radio program with all your love questions.

I think they oughta get shod in set-screwed bicycle rubber.  When I asked about another additional set, I was told we're getting "the metal ones" and OK I'll believe that when I see it.  Alchemy has achieved critical mass if we're making trees with steel now.

Looks like they figured a way to ditch the corner brackets and run exhaust out the bumper tips

No Cat progress today.

But in the interest of Pontiaction, can you tell which wimpy set of marks are a couple weeks old? The innie or outie? Boss likes to keep a few fresh ones around but I ain't very brutal.

Hot diggity, they started sliding paper on it!

So it begins-



I heard everyone has seen bondo, sooo...  

Hey but the owner was by today and I am happy to report that exhaust outlets will be UNDER the bumper tips which get to STAY.    Both bumpers will be tucked and bolts shaved.
