1968 Volvo project Pure Volvocity

[68EFIvert]

Thanks for the input guys. I may delay the grill being on there until after paint and chrome work is done. It has 4 screws holding it in place so it is easily removed. The grill will stay a satin silver finish like stock but the upper grill will have a chrome surround where the lower grill will not. That should draw more attention to the top. The other thing I am not sure of is how much attention the lower grill gets because it is white an the rest is bare metal. I will bring the wheels back over today and should have some pictures later in the week I will post.

In the meantime here are a couple pictures of a stock Volvo for comparison. As you can see there is nothing in area below the bumper on a stock car. It just looks unfinished and adding a chin spoiler wouldn't be enough to make it look right and to provide for some aerodynamic assistance. I do plan on taking the car to track days and hopefully an optima event in the future and want it to be safe at speed. On a side note the bulbous lower section of the valance is removable with 6 bolts. I was not sure about it so I had the body shop make it modular. It would also make it easier to fix if needed.



I really appreciate your help with this guys. I feel like I am in unchartered waters with this build. I have a basic sense of the direction I want to go but not a lot of others have gone this far with one of these cars.
