The job that dvw did on his was superb, was thinking along those lines. There was a thread a while back where he showed some pics.

Bondo Bob's pieces are killer too and relatively inexpensive for what they are.(IMO) Either way I think would be good as long as whatever welding is done is sound enough for NY street duty.

And also just to continue my own weight loss program, I recently received some aluminum front bumper brackets from jbmopars that he had for sale here. They should shed around 7-9 lbs off the front of the car depending on which fasteners I use. Nice parts, very well made.
