Just a little update.
last night I worked on the drivers door a little more. I got the wide body piece glassed on that makes the last piece of the wide body to be installed.
now it is a matter of fitting it all and a few more tweaks to other body parts. I will wait for the wheels before I do a few of them. it will still be some time before I can get it to paint.
on other parts I talked to Archie yesterday and the VDI hinges are well under way and should be ready for shipping next week. next big tweak Lambo hinges!
I am going to call BonSpeed today and try to get a ship date from them on the wheels.
I have this weekend off so I am going to try to get a lot done on the car and try to get it in to primer.
here is a pic from last night.

Yep. Went to bed about 4 AM & got up a little after noon. Still didn't get enough sleep...
Glad the doors worked out well. How's the mat holding up?
I got the lightweight steering collum installed in the solo car last night. Tonight I'm working on one of the rocker reinforcements (going to cut off the roof). And the suspension on the custom car (pulled the rear bumper & 1/4's off of it day before yesterday & installed the custom rear bumper reinforcement). Working on them after I spend some time on the Mera (got several of it's peices under the final coat of epoxy today).
Pics are still in the camera. I have to boot up another computer & upload the pics on it, transfer them to floppy, load them in this 'puter, downsize them, then I can email them. I'll get a couple to you soon... 
Just took me over 30 minites to get a good enough connection to load a web page. 
Later,

if everything goes right I should have my VDI hinges and my wheels next week.
this will be great. I will work on the car this weekend to get more things done on the body and then with the wheels and hinges I can
do the final fit with a few more tweaks so I can get it to finish body and paint.
while that is being done I will work on the motor and other things.

I was able to work on the car this weekend but not as much as I wanted to.
body work takes forever. I worked on the rockers to get them finished I widened the drivers side and did all the bottom body lines to match the front
and installed the screen on the passenger side. I also worked on the drivers door, the rear deck lid, the rear quarter windows, and a little on the rear fascia.
it is kind of a slow go and it does not look like much progress but a lot has been done. on the rear deck lid I glassed in the rear of the spoiler and made the screen for the hood scoop.
I wanted to get more done but it is just me working on it. so I will just keep plugging along and posting pic's as I go.
here are some pic's from this weekend.
hopefully next week I will have VDI hinges and wheels to post.
enjoy.
