Resale? Why would I sink a lot of money into a car and worry about resale to begin with? You're never going to get what you've got out of a car to begin with, so why worry about it.

I must be a lot older than you are, because I've been in this "hobby" for over 20 years now, and haven't wanted out yet, so I doubt it's going to happen anytime in the next 20 years, now that I'm making enough money to do what I've wanted to for the last 20.

I agree with Bullitt, you are not disrespecting, but I say forget resale. I vote fiberglass panels!

Bullitt5339 · April 15th, 2011, 07:34 PM

Plus, I bought my car with a salvage title for the simple purpose of making it a badass street car without worrying about destroying a semi-valuable, semi-rare Bullitt. With the salvage title, it's not worth much anyways.

Once all this gets done take me for a ride.

We can't be too far from each other. I can drive and pay for gas.

Bullitt5339 · April 15th, 2011, 07:49 PM

I'm right outside of Lumberton, about 30 miles from South of the Border, right off of I-95.

therat1989 · April 15th, 2011, 07:51 PM

sheesh... I'm right next to Boone and Winston Salem. It's 3 and a half hours for men.

too bad haha

Falco · April 15th, 2011, 08:46 PM

Any pics from the underside of the panels?

Falco · April 15th, 2011, 08:51 PM

and pics of the process?

Bullitt5339 · April 15th, 2011, 09:02 PM

No, I didn't take pics as I was doing it. Got busy and forgot about them.

Bullitt5339 · April 15th, 2011, 09:27 PM

Well, I got confirmation that my lightweight front bumper support from Donathen Racing will be shipped on Monday, so there's next week's work on the Bullitt.

save the money and run without a support. not needed until pushing a lot more wind with the front of the car

Bullitt5339 · April 16th, 2011, 03:28 AM

It's already paid for. It'll be OK, I guess I'm just setting up for later.

Bullitt5339 · April 16th, 2011, 12:57 PM

I beat the weather this morning, and finished up the rear bumper support brackets. I still need to get two more fender washers, and do the center support. I didn't notice that they were only in packs of 4 until today when I opened them.

JoshDrex00gt · April 16th, 2011, 02:48 PM
