Dean,

Your fiberglass and fabrication skills are more impressive with each step you take on this car. Great job.

Thanks, it was a lot harder when I did my first kit car but I have learned alot from a friend that owns a fiberglass shop.
just from the time I started on this car to now I have gotten way better and things that did not come out right I have redone
I just did not post the redo's LOL!

Ok it's Monday! I know no one likes mondays but here is somthing to brighten up the day.
this last weekend I worked on the car both days and did alot but most of it was stuff that was rather boring to take pics of
I worked on the front lower pannel that took a good part of the weekend and it still is not done but it is close.
while I waited for that to dry I worked on many other things like fitting the rockers to the door jambs better, I made a pattern for my back glass to take it to my shop
and cut it this week so I could send it out for tempering, as well as many other little things that needed done like the glove box in the dash.
once I got my wheels installed I looked over all the body lines around the tires and I had to do a few tweaks the bigest one was the rear bumper
when I built it I made the bottom too wide so I cut the bottom part and re fitted it to the wheel and it looks way better.
I think I have a love hate thing with fiberglass it is easy to make changes on parts but it takes a lot of time waiting for it to setup.
that is why you have to work on so many parts of the car at once.
anyway here are the pic's that all of you wanted to see! the wheels mounted.
Enjoy,








is it just me or does the car look more agressive with the front lower on the 355 nose and the big wheels?
I will lower the car about 1" later to fit the wheel wells beter.

the wheels fit exactly the way I wanted them to they come out just inside of even with the body.

Wheels looks great man, can't wait to see this thing complete. Looks like you nailed the wheel measurements.

Wow !!!

That looks really good
You have been working very hard on that car, you should take a break and bring it to Daytona.

Keep up the good work
