Default New look for old Unique

Last week I finally decided the splitter in the snout had to go (see first picture). I went out to the garage fully expecting to fire up the air saw and cut the thing out of the car, but when I looked closely I noticed hairline cracks in the paint on both ends. Four well placed closed fist blows later the splitter was out. A little filing and sanding and the only trace that it ever existed was the bare fiberglass on each side. The old corroded sheet metal that lined the snout, but only half way up, also came out.

On Saturday, Zderf and I delved into shaping and bending aluminum into unnatural shapes. It turned out pretty nice, if I do say so, and changed the whole look of the car (see other pictures and ignore rock chips and temporary paint touch-up job).
