No, I've already done that, it's in the archives. I'm not talking about how-to's, I'm talking about documenting the car in it's current state, so that if someone has something taken apart, they can reference a good specimen to put it back together.

I took pics of all the steps I took when I installed the widebody. Everything from trimming the rear fender wells to each stage of molding the rear fenders on and rebuilding the front airdam for more air flow.

I've been debating about doing a writeup on this, but there are so few upcoming widebody installs. Much of the proceedures can be used for any fiberglass mod that is molded to the body, or even repairing a damaged piece. I also have a Mariah Mode 4 front that needs some repair, I can document the steps for that too.

Wow, that'd be awesome. Anything to do with molding fiberglass parts to the body would be helpful to say the least.

I'm also thinking about doing a paint prep and painting one. Not sure if I have enough sequential pics to do it though.

Speaking of which, if you didn't finish your control and watts link arms, add them to your order and I can finish them up for, including the bushings.

I'll be happy to do your entire car, can you take out a 2nd motgage? lol

That looks like a typical New England car.That is what makes my 79 GS all that more special.It has lived its entire life in New England,but never saw a winter,and the car is near mint in every way.Every nut,and bolt that I have removed from this car has come off with such ease it is scary.Great idea by the way.I could offer up some SA pics if you want.I live close by you as well if you need any parts,or hands-on looks at either my 79 GS,or my 83 LE that I am parting out.

I've got a bone stock '84 GS. It's pretty dirty though. Will a pic of it help any?
