We're putting a wing on and was wondering if there's a easy way to get behind the bumber where the tail lights are? I can see the screws on the sides but nothing else.

Tim,
Let me know how it goes....if I should change anything. I had mine off, and on, and off.....several times during my wing change. I even had to remove the surround when I went to pick the car up because they forgot to put the rubber seal back in! :)

The directions were great. I think it took us about 20 minutes to get it off. I read the directions to the body shop guys and they did the work. Now if the can just get it back together for the Zone Rendezvous tomorrow. They said it looks like it's been crashed as there is a cut out section of fiberglas on one side. It looks like the rear 1/4 panels are held on by a plastic tie wrap on each side near the top. Is that standard equipment.
The Dodge dealer had said the front end is out of wack and was probably wrecked in the front also.

The guy I bought it from said it had never been wrecked or anything and had a clear carfax thing. LOL

Tie wraps are normal. Hand built car...you will notice the tie wraps actually provide NO structural support....they were only a "spare hand" used during assembly.

Cut out sections? I'd have to see....but I think there are some bolts up there and that some of the access holes are standard.

Don't get too worried yet....many cars seem "out of wack" simply because they are hand built. :)
