Making great progress on the custom rear bumper project for the Boss! Slow going but it's turning out just the way we wanted. Always a plus!

Very impressive work. Looking at the quality of your work I realized I do not have the patience you have but wish I did. Possibly I overlooked it in your blog but will you be reproducing the bumpers for sale?
I always enjoy seeing the progress on your car.

Thank you sir! I appreciate your comments, as always!
Once we get the molding process down, I think we will offer a limited number of customer bumpers for sale. Kinda depends on demand, but so far, we seem to be getting some serious interest in the idea, so it's something we are likely to do.
More to come!

Very Very Nice. I wish I had your patience. I never had any to start with, ADD and ADHD, pretty well ruled my life. So I'm good at starting things and horrible at finishing them. If I don't force myself to stay focused. I have a real tough time.
Excellent job Sir.

JTS,
I totally understand! In my younger years, I would have driven myself nuts in much the same way!
Many thanks for the compliment!

It really is tough to get things the way you want them. Lots of trial and error. I'm glad I'm building a set of headers for my Jacobra. They have to be functional first, and look good later! If they don't come out pretty. I can always leave the hood closed!!! Unlike your bumper it has to be Nice to start with. Good Luck. Very nice work.

Very impressive! I certainly do not have the patience or skills for what you doing but wish I did. What comes after the bumper and how much farther do you have to go to finish the car? I am very anxious in seeing see finished product.

Mike,
Thanks very much!
The bumper project is kind of going on in parallel to quite a few other things on the car. The next "deep dive" project is to section a rather poor fitting replacement driver door to fit the OEM fender properly. I have always had a bit of heartburn over the variability in the 69-70 replacement doors and decided to just go on and fix this one rather than cart it back to NPD and mess with the new door merry-go-round. Youwill start seeing those updates coming soon.
