thanks for the positive comments
in response to rjb23; i should be set with the bondo stuff if i hit anything it wont be to bad i layered it with the long stranded fiberglass bondo that stuff is basically unbreakable and if youve ever seen it in an accident it bends and smashes more than cracks/splits apart... then i put the regular bondo on top to cover the holes and for easier sanding (sanding the fiberglass bondo with the 36 & 40 grit strips is a bitch)
and playr158; youre forgetting i live in cleveland, last night i did it in freezing rain :-D but im born and raised in cleveland so the temps really dont bother me that much
and junior; believe it or not i considered possible headlight work, and other front end mods like possibly an intercooler, and the mesh in front can be easily taken out and there is enough space to actually work on the front end without removing the bumper and im even able to take the lights off >

> (my front end is a little different too it was completely rebuilt and is missing some of the supports which allows a little more space)
