Keep in mind that these projects aren't finished, but are slowly on their way (thanks to the long hours at work). Let me know what you think!

Here's what I've done to the front bumper.


And getting started on the rear bumper.


And painted the front bumper support!


Well, there's my projects for the time being! Constructive comments welcome!

Thanks! Lots of work for the front bumper, tho. People would say I did it the 'wrong' way, but it's pretty solid when I hit it and twist the bumper.

PLEASE tell me you didnt just bondo the gaps to mold the front license place filler into the rear bumper? The bondo will likely crack and come loose over time. Should have used fusor if you didnt.

LOL Oh God no! I didn't do that. That would have cracked with the tests I put my bumper through! I TRIED to punch out the plate filler and a buddy and I twisted the bumper from the ends to try to get a corner to lift up. It'll be good for anything but a crash. The bumper had several rips to begin with so it WAS trash. I just repaired them and decided that I would do some custom work on it since it's already a junker.

I figured someone wouldn't like the filling in of the rear bumper. It was almost a coin toss deciding to do it. But smooth and shaved is part of my theme. The lights on the sides of the bumpers are getting filled also and I plan on tapping the 'Pontiac' out of the headlight cover too.

Thanks for the comments!

Here's an update. I re-mounted the bumper to hold it better while I sand the
filler primer. It's so nice to see my baby with a bumper back on!







I'll remove it again for final primer and painting. You can see some Glazing
putty in the P/S driving light 'cause I didn't like how a repaired spot looked.
It's just so great to see a bumper on again!

Well I fiberglassed the side lights closed and the plate cover on. I figured it wouldn't stick for ****, but after a little testing I found out what will make it
work and DAMN it sticks hard! I couldn't peel it off even from the un-resened
corners! The Pontiac letters were ground out and filled with a flexable body filler.

Thanks for the comments fellas! I'm workin 3 12-hour shifts in a row, so I won't get any progress until early next week. What I've got left is to finish sanding that spot in the passenger driving light, re-removing the bumper and final primer and paint! The rear bumper got sanded mostly smooth and I need to add a little bit of spotting putty for a couple little pin holes that came up. Then I have to remove that to fiberglass the side lights closed.

So a question for the front bumper. Should I leave the factory turn signals? The ones I have are shitty so I'd need new ones, but otherwise I was thinking of getting driving lights with yellow halo and use the halo as my turn signal. What do you guys think of that??
