    Put the new nose on

    Well since it was so nice out yesterday, I decided to put my new bumper cover on. It turned out to be more of a task then I expected, since when I pulled the old cover off I found out the passenger side of the steel bumper itself was flattened from the impact with the 4wheeler. So Andy and I tried heating it up and prying it out with a pry bar, jacking it up and jumping on it, raising with a engine hoist but nothing worked. Finally we moved it enough to fit a axle in it and attached a steel pipe to the axle and pryed it back into shape. Its not perfect but it will do for now. The lines arnt perfect and the front unibody seems a little twisted but Ill let the body guy worry about that. For now Im just happy that the car looks a little better. Now I just need a fender.

    The Chevy Camaro was built with a single purpose in mind which it executes flawlessly...Going very very fast in a straight line until your hair catches on fire.

          Huge improvement, congrats on getting it on! Gotta love doing the bumper covers... those screws that go into the bumper but go through a metal bracket always seems to rust together, so then you're twisting the metal bracket and the screw and it rips the plastic and UGH. Anyway, congrats!
