Kevin Jackson's Semi-Sebring V8

Below are photographs that Kevin Jackson kindly sent me along with his description of fitting the Sebring front and rear valences.  As with Ed Braclik's car, the front is blended in as one piece which really improves the look.

The front valence was attached using a wheel arch repair panel which is an L shaped section of steel with one solid face and the other has slots cut in it to allow it to be shaped to follow the contour of the body.

The bodywork guy cut three sections, one for each wing and one to extend the centre tray he then welded them in with sufficient recess to allow the valence to be flush fitted and line up with the body. He then pop rivetted and glued the valance to the new extension pieces which was then blended with filler to achieve a smooth transition.

The rear was much simpler as the valence was a good fit, he just glued and pop rivetted into position shaping and blending in the fibreglass as required and then fitted the two extension pieces under the rear lights for the rubber bumper body.

I got the valences and the RV8 bonnet from Honeybourne Mouldings they were good value and the bonnet was only £86.00

The colour of the car at the body shop is not a true colour as it was under fluorescent lights the nearest to true colour is the top half of the car parked in front of the garages with green doors.
