| i'm going to buy new front fenders in a couple of hours. and i'll probably spend the rest of the day applying body filler and sanding.
All of this is my work. I don't have any past experience with bodywork or painting but with the help of some books and pacience i seem to be doing just fine. | |

| One little question. I heard that the reason why the american cars move so much when you rev them up is because the engine mounts don't have any kind of rubber, it's just metal. is that truth? cause i need new engine mounts anyway so if that's truth maybe i'll make some solid engine mounts. | |

No, muscle cars move when you rev them up because the engine is mounted longditudinally, and they're funking massive. 
Also they often have seriously soft suspension, and any quick change in velocity from the eight massive pistons manifests itself as torsional movement of the entire car in the opposite direction.
My land rover used to do it.

| well, it was hard to find new fenders for this car so i had to buy some different ones. now i have 2 options. one is weld some metal on them and make them look like the original so i can use the round headlights 
and the other is use the headlights and the turn signals like this one:  | |
