Default Shaving Everything

Im in the process of shaving my girl smooth and decided to post up some pics.

First up are the sidemarkers. I cut out some fender metal from my 300ZX fender I had laying around. Using the Dremel I shaped the top piece to fit the sidemarker hole.


Right fender -






Then I welded that piece to a backing plate and welded the plate to the fender -




Left fender -






Then it was on to the trunk. There are two emblem holes that needed to be filled and I didnt want to use filler so I welded those too. -







I decided to leave the keyhole and just use the Keyhole Plugs sold here to fill it.


Next I need to sand and glaze the fenders and trunk smooth then they are ready for paint. The front bumper emblem and license plate holes are already filled and shaved, ready for paint.

Replacing the third brake light with a GTM Spoiler. Still on the fence with the radio antenna, not sure if I should keep it or shave it.

Do the hidden secondary hood release mod. If your battery dies, pop hood and jump it.
