Finally got the lower front end spoiler squared
Ready for polyester and final levelling,
This will require zero sealer so will be an easy unbolt removal if required,

That front end is one of the best looking ever I think....love it. Your work is so meticulous and perfect. Im watching loads of episodes of Graveyard Carz at the moment and the body guys on that do some stunning work like this :thumbright:

Thank you praise indeed!
Not sure I’m in that league now [-X
But back in the day I turned out a few XKE’s that were pretty good!
I’ve watched a few too, not 100% sure about that Mark Wormen gezzer though, but I suppose that’s all par for the course with US produced content,
But they do have some very interesting and unique Mopars featured .
The TA is a bucket list car, something I’ve been wanting for 50 years, if it hadn’t come available I would have brought the White 440-6 that Dave B owned for years,
A 70 GTX or Satellite is probably my favourite of them all!
Style, shape and road presence for me it’s never been bettered ,
I’m still a believer \:D/

I must admit I was thinking that. If I win the Euro Millions, I will make sure you have your own huge workshop. A guy with your skills deserves every inch of it!!!! That last picture shows just how beautiful the lines on these cars are.

Fabulous son !
I’ve finally managed to complete my mission on the front lower !
Actually turned out pretty well really,
Glad I drop the angle to, the blunt look is nice and blends with the surrounding panels,
