800 and 1000-grit paper is used to smooth and strip the rest of the car... | 
...Here you can see a few bare spots on the plastic fender and SMC door. | 
As part of the front end damage, the hood latch support was bent, so Hawks Third Gen supplied this used replacement piece from its large stockpile. |
Since a replacement for this plastic headlight and bumper support was hard to come-by, Steve went ahead and used his plastic welder to repair the cracked factory piece as good as possible. After cleaning it with wax and grease remover and grinding it smooth, holes are drilled at the end of the cracks (to prevent further cracking), then the plastic is melted together | 
Hawks also hooked us up with this new Styrofoam front bumper and support. After the factory bumper cover was sanded down it was test fit with the new fender, new SLP Ram Air hood, and a new headlight bucket I purchased from F-body. We later replaced the headlight cover as well as the bezel with new pieces from Year One... | 
...The hood and headlight covers are adjusted until the gaps are as straight as possible, the edges of the hood are ground down to get it the rest of the way-particularly around the headlight covers. |
SLP Performance Parts supplied this WS6-style Ram Air H.O. hood (p/n 100002, $823.95)... | 
...which Steve Jr. is block sanding with 220-grit. Just like on the quarter panel... | 
...a sprinkling of spray paint is used to find the missed spots as well as the high and low spots... |
