Full metal wide body bagged 370z

If it's like most shops, longer projects tend to be delayed as "small" jobs come in that get turned around for quick payments etc. They end up delaying the long term work significantly. That and the one or two guys that usually are dedicated to your project take holidays, get sick, etc.

Amazing work! That thing is going to be sick.

In for updates. I can't wait to see it finished. It was horrible having to read through all the hate. Regardless of what you're getting done, you're not taking any shortcuts.

Another WB project that I like. Keep it up OP and looking forward to see the finished project.

I take it the rear bumper is no longer going to be removeable? Looks like you've bonded it to the rear quarter...

I didnt notice that but your right. Lets hope you never have to change a tail light bulb

I'm SO happy to see a full clean fender. The other metal widebody (red that made an appearance at SEMA), I couldn't find it in me to understand or cope w/ the giant gaps or "air catchers" in the rear fenders. Was as if it was for a porsche, yet the engine was in the front of the car, and zero function other then air resistance(something you DON'T want?).

Are you having sides extended as well? excited to see this completed!

You don't remove the rear bumper to remove the taillight. Unless there's lights in the actual bumper cover, there's literally zero need to remove the actual rear bumper.

Ya, light bulb shouldn't be an issue. You don't need to remove the rear bumper for any regular maintenace, BUT if you have a fender bender.... yikes

It looked like the front bumper was also molded to the fenders as well.
