Damn you Steve, you triggered me to Photoshop this evening!
As a matter a fact I use PS daily (it's part of my job!) but the biggest part is happening in the sick brain so I haven't used PS much in the designing process (these words sound expensive However I took some pics today and did some Photoshoppyiee... I included timeslips...oeps, originals for comparison. And, exhaust tips are in place now and the nosepiece is almost ready for taking a mold.

I am thinking about a metallic grey. yellow primer is bad material for Photoshopping it to metallic grey ! But I want to go to a dark color because I don't want the car to be "over the the top" with all the mods....

Smoooth: Your car is one of the main reasons I started with this insanity!
I think sometimes mine is a bit too ricey (even to myself) but I didn't wanted to go the easy way (355noses and Vette taillights are a lot around here). Altezza type lights seemed the way to go 2 years ago.
If I would have to start from scratch this year everything would be different. feel good about the direction you're going and do it how YOU want it. Sometimes I see pictures of finished things I am just working at....Grrrr.At the end I just want to be happy of the complete results. Thats why deadline's often do not work with this project(whyle this still is a hobby) But you have to stop somewhere and hand it over to the paint shop. there are always reasons to doubt about anything.

that front end is sweet as hell... are you going to be making those for sale?

Thanks! Well most of the work now is making molds and good products. If I can get everything right and good quality pieces I might sell parts! Anyway I keep that in mind so I have more reason to put more time into good molds! Here's the mold from the rear (still working on it) and the nosepiece being covered for a mold.

I have something new though. As it is difficult to get good replacement quarterpanels I decided to try something myself in glassfiber. Took molds from the old quarterwindows (which were already cracked a bit). I decided to do something like this:

I will trim it so it is flush with the sailpanel inserts.

But deadlines are skipped till further notice!
Oh no, not like the Smooth GT!
