So today I met with Dozier and Conrad (From AlabamaDrift.com) at Moe's for lunch. After talking with Dozier and mentioning my front bumper being cracked. I still wanting to fix it, he offered to help me out with repairing it (Since he's skilled with fiberglass and worked with resin before and I've never touched it). Needless to say, we met up with my buddy Pat (Who had my bumper in his basement). Then we got to work, as you can see from what's posted below.

So clean, that was until every day driving in Birmingham and some of Georgia's shitty back roads killed it with steep angles and pot-holes.

Started with just the bottom under lip first to hold it together before we started the rest of it.

First coat. We ran out of hardener for the resin and were running low on resin (1lb 3oz can) anyway.
