I was trying to figure out how you got that bottle together. The pic make it look like a stock item.

I just got one of these for mine:

Quality is actually pretty good. I need to fab a bracket and find some right angle fittings. Should work for you, too.

Hi Bob
That actually looks like a really nice unit Bob , I may look at getting one as a reservoir bottle for my intercooler and install it in the second fuel
Filler in the right fender. Thanks for the link.

I was also wondering how you got that bottle back together lol. Good stuff! Ive used my soldering gun and melted bits of plastic to weld stuff back together. That rotisserie is bad arse! Ive used cabosil for invetred areas and it works good. Some hvac or heavy tape will hold it in there good too. Youre getting close man looking good sir

Thanks Shem, its coming together!!!

I've been busy finishing the back half of the car to get it into paint !!
unfortunately it's the wrong color for now, but It is for the first time one color other than primer gray.
I have to say taking the extra time to get the body perfect payed off , the paint laid down to give me a perfect surface to mold.
I'm hoping to start molding in a few days as I want to give the paint a few days to fully cure.


the first pics are in Primer ready to paint.





and now for the painted version. pics were taken at night so not as good as some Ive posted













Stay safe everyone and thanks for stopping by

Wayne

Man, everything about this build just looks so top notch. I mean your work looks like something that came out of a factory, not a home garage. Loving this build!!!!

Thanks Bob, Ted and Andrew for stopping by and the comments.

So I started molding the rear of the car today ,my first step to expedite the process was to make the up the flanges .I attached them to the body to get a visual of what each piece will look like and to ensure they can be removed from the part once it is laid up.
I'll start the layup tomorrow ,I hope to have the mold totally finished in 2-3weeks.

stay safe

I may have missed this somewhere in the thread.
You will be selling these? Any idea yet how much if you do?
Incredable work!
