new mounting tabs on bumpers. These needed some material added to the ends too. Notice how poor they fit befor I stripped it.

I grind as much as I can on the thick windshield pillars, Targa bar and the wheel wells



I scribe all the panel lines to a uniform depth then polished the window frame and trim befor painting.
