I had just finished installing new front suspension and brakes.

I have changed to front disk brakes since (Spring of 2007). What a difference!!!

I choose a 7-piece fiberglass Baja kit with the headlights in the fenders.

Tips: Work with the Hood fastened at the rear and centered.

• Start cutting the front nose metal away a little at a time while placing front fiberglass nose piece in place. You need to have enough body metal inside the sides of the nose piece so you can bolt it on. Do the cutting in small amounts so you don't cut too much away.

• Check the fenders against the nose to get the nose in the proper position.

• I used 1/4" bolts, nuts, fender washers and lock-washers.

• In the Hood mounting I choose not to hinge it at the rear. I had bad experiences with a previous project and couldn't keep the hood from blowing up and breaking windshields.
