Back half is coming together (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Just gotta paint tail and front of engine grill red and insides of sail panels semi flat black. Then it gets spun around and work starts on hanging the front end (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) This is the thread I will put all the updates to this project on.

This is the slant nose kit Im adapting on to it. Im going to modify it to keep the signal humps. I had a stock hood and headlight covers but they were gutted of light parts and sealed shut.

Interesting. I think I like it. Keeping the signal humps but still updating the front end, nicely done.

Added a little carbon fiber and a layer of glass to help fend off cone damage. Fenders are / were thin race only units. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Looks great! I like the glass work, looks really good. I think the front end will turn out really nice too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

What a great project for you and your boys! Are they getting into it? I now understand your other thread asking about the fresh air ducting from the PO.
Good job! -Jeff |
