One question though. If it was a track car in a former life, I imagine the front is pretty sandblasted. Any issues getting vinyl wrap to stick to paint with lots of chips in it? No bubbling or anything like that?

Asking because my car has led a similar life and has chips all over the front bumper, front edge of hood, mirrors, front valance but the rest of the original paint is in good shape so I figured a partial wrap would be a good way to have fun with it like you have done.
As long as its clean and prepped properly it sticks fine. The only issue was the fiberglass front valance, it had a textured coating (bed liner) It wouldn't stick to it. I have since removed the front oil cooler and replaced the original valence.
