Since I had the day off I wanted to fix one of the big projects. I had the trunk all smoothed out and fitting nice with the end caps. BUT naturally like everything else on the car once I installed the taillight panel it no longer fit nice. It was too far sunk in and left a big gap, in addition the bottom edge wasn’t square. I probably could have just squared off the bottom and called it a day, but It would have bugged me so I had to fix it. ![http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/9291/img2602f.jpg](http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/9291/img2602f.jpg) out comes the fiberglass ![http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/1649/img2604m.jpg](http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/1649/img2604m.jpg) 2 trips to napa and 4 hours later ![http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/3501/img2605w.jpg](http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/3501/img2605w.jpg) ![http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/893/img2606sl.jpg](http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/893/img2606sl.jpg) ---

got the trunk and endcaps blocked sanded, hopefully for the last time. I hate redoing stuff, but I’m glad I did, it looks much better. ![http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/1196/img2613a.jpg](http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/1196/img2613a.jpg) ![http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/7143/img2610.jpg](http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/7143/img2610.jpg) ![http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/4444/img2609p.jpg](http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/4444/img2609p.jpg) I also fixed the front corner of the hood, where it met the upper nose, it wasn’t long enough and dint match the contour. So i had to re fiberglass it. ![http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/2604/img2612n.jpg](http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/2604/img2612n.jpg) ![http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/6953/img2611f.jpg](http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/6953/img2611f.jpg) I also ordered the small lights next to the headlights. Got an unopened set $100 cheaper than list price. So hopefully those will be here later this week. ---
