Hi Wayne, Youo're really going at it. Nice progress.

I don't know if I had a brain fart or what, but I didn't recall you having the rear decklid open rearward. How did you do your hinges??
Happy holidays, man...

Hi Bob Yes it has been that way for awhile now , Bob. Here a few shots of the mounting and frame. I need to redo the actual deck before I mold it. I may actually remove the steel frame and produce one out of foam incapsulated in a carbon fiber layup trying to reduce the weight but have the rigidity.




I hope life is getting back to normal for you and your family and you'll be able to get back to work on your project soon. All the best of the season to you Bob. wayne

I finally have completed the drivers side lower rocker as well as the removable lower intake. The parting seams on the intake came out great, nice and tight . Moving onto the passenger side in the New Year , here are a few pics.



well this will be my final post for the year, company coming for Xmas so putting the tools down. Wayne

First off thanks Shem, Ive been wondering what you've been unto. I hope everyone had a great Xmas and looking forward to the New Year, my goal for 2020 is to have the car finished this year.
Having the drivers side mainly complete , I took all the building technics learned and put them to work on the Passenger side I started on the lower scoop and running board , I cut everything off.


The lower running board and front fender vent is a great Idea but the reality of trying to mold it to duplicate it is almost impossible


So this required deconstructing it and adding temp fillers , once the mold is completed and the part is completed I'll cut out the vent opening and install a metal mesh, then reattach the out side , the photo shows me holding it on.



I got the 3/16 inch door seam completed ,sure makes a difference .

everything is reattached , but I still need to finish all the seams [img] [/img]
This is a interesting shot if you look at the rear wheel arch lower portion you can see the original body with the foam I attached to it to increase the overall body by 3-4"
