A little update. We have the molds off of the new decklid & the new upper rear clip. In fact those molds already have fiberglass laid up in them. The mold for the underside of the new decklid is being made right now. I know everyone want to see pics & I'll try to get some in the morning. We should have at least one set of panels out of the molds by the end of next week & then the big drain in the bottom of my checking account will be sealed off again. Archie

Today I have pics of the 1st new Roadster rear clip as it has come out of the mold. Still have to clean it up and do some trimming around the edges. Notice it has returns all around where the new decklid will lay when closed. These returns should keep the water from leaking into the trunk & make for a nice mounting to the upper frame rails just behind the rear window. 
Here is the "test" pc out of the mold for the outside part of the rear decklid. 
Here is the mold for the upper (outside) part of the new decklid. 
And here is the mold for the lower (inside) part of the new decklid. 
These molds are being waxed up right now & we'll have finished parts out of them by this weekend. When building a Roadster version of the Fino or Finale all of the other parts including the nose, hood, door panels Rocker panels etc. remain the same & we have a bunch of those in stock already to go.
