spoiler bumper fiberglass – asifnyc.com https://asifnyc.com blog devoted to my AMC road race and street cars and all things AMC and Rambler related Mon, 06 Jun 2011 06:57:31 +0000 en-US hourly 1 Nose job… https://asifnyc.com/nose-job/ https://asifnyc.com/nose-job/#comments Sun, 29 Nov 2009 07:53:04 +0000 http://asifnyc.com/?p=455 Continue reading ]]> I’ve decided to do a bit of cosmetic work on the nose.   When the car was painted yellow years ago, EVERYTHING was painted yellow.  That includes everything on the front side of the radiator support.  I’ve since learned that even if you want your engine compartment to be body color you should paint the forward side of the rad support and headlight buckets, etc. black.  If you paint them body color then you’ll see that color through the grille.  It just looks better to have all that blacked out.  So I’m blacking out the nose (including the horns which were painted yellow also).  While I have everything apart I’ve decided to finally paint and install the fiberglass bumper I bought.  I haven’t painted it yet but I test fit it to see how it looked.  I’d like to try to get it tighter to the fender “pocket” (see pic).  The final piece of this nose job is a surprise.  I’ll post pics once it’s done.
