Its not worth giving it all up to drive a truck that holds tents
for a for a traveling carnival .. I could be an ace tent set-er-ypper.
No Ill stick to making body kits before I go off the deep end like that..
though it does sound exciting better than a stuck city tent dweller..
I can at least contemplate taking my tent & goin out on the golf course
we live on & like I said contemplate that. Golfcart, tent I could be livin
it up grand out there.

I could eat the squiriel, raccon, duck, and maybe try the possum
the raccon are all related and realy like to feed on our catfood dishes..
the mama poppa and kids so I wouldnt eat them as much as not the possum.

Possum sounds tempting though have you ever seen one.
* yuck*.

They don't have eyes & like to roam.
the raccoons are like family I wish they would pick up
better raccoon / human skills its been years since they've
been around heck I watched there kids grow up &
fed them too. They still like to hose me for food.

Alright I got some shape to the sides a built & filled last niter
& am in the middle of attaching them I attached the passenger side where it looks good then measured the point from the wheel well and put the other side in the same spot then ran the long piece from the bumper end of the first side I put on to the same spot on the second side & struck a level on the long pieces spanning the two side pieces by setting the last point on the second side when the levewl read level... its all good from there... besides plumbing down from the edge of the bumper in two spots of equal distance from the ends then getting the dist from that point to the
edge of the valance Ill know its pretty much squared with the car.

Then I can plan the supports
the belly pan and build the back under the bumper shape some more on the sides its a big job.

What 20 peolple look at it & dont say nothing
what do I need to say take the beck part of the
side skirt [in front of the rear wheel] & start
sides of the r. valance the same way... well
see it in primer thatll give it some contrast
& youll be able to see the angles.. though
I think Ill need to do what I just stated.

The rear definitely doesn't look as natural as the skirts and splitter. Colour might make a big difference but for me the separation between the valance and the bodywork is too obvious... could you blend it in any way?

Just constructive criticism, other people may dig it.

It can't cover any of the bumper. . .I think that is a major source of it not looking right, and breaking up the natural lines of the car (unlike the other parts, which flow nicely).

You're almost ready!
