Amazing difference, if I tried that, the whole surface would be moon craters, like a lumpy potato.I don't do bodywork.
SWEET!

Thanks for the likes fellas It is appreciated! Started sandin and filling some of the sub micron pinholes that are left, then decided to take a break. I need to finish the spoiler and the side vents and some udder things foist. Made some progress on the side vents after a few experiments. They will have to be attached to the door and open w the door.
The ps a pillar is more visible than the ds where it meets the hood. It bugs me
It went on the list o stuffs to figure out
Found that magic spot the tire leaks air again, broke the bead
No room for the jack in the garage, had to drive it out
Hadta figure out how to move the hood back on the ps side when its up in the air. Got at it today, aired up the car, dropped the front crossmember on some bricks. Opened the hood and measured to the ground, 13cm(pos hf tape). Cut the hood loose and bumped it up to 16cm,, stuffed another brick and a towel to hold it there, and glassed it a and a buncha other d dingusses
like the door handle areas that were getting soft
Now it nice and beefy
Extended the doors, first layer of support for the vents
Hoods much better level wise/a pillar wise. crappy pic sorry
Made a trip to the machine shop to work on the wing and get metal for the vents. Need to make another trip and the spoilers ready to get finished. Working rear wing too! Yay!
On my break from the car i have acquired 16 more drones, cupla yuuge ones. Finally found the old clone I been searching for too
search this on ebay
2Pcs X5C-1 Drone RC Quadcopter Explorers 2.4Ghz 4CH 6-Axis with HD Camera WW
its a deal and an awesome durable cheap drone, cameras worthless
Got some for my bros, cousins, and neighbors
My kid has an electric trike w a single 6v motor I have running on a 12v brick battery. Rides it up and down the block , but keeps trying to ride it in the backyard. Its a one legger w no traction so it just sits there and spins in the dirt. Im cheap, love modding. Got 2 12v motors off ebay, and some old handcart tires that wouldnt hold air and a 12" 3/4glv gas pipe from the junkpile. Cut the gas pipe in half to make fork extension to fit the big wheel. Cut the tread off the bad tires and screwed em to the plastic tires. Put foil in the new motor cups and poured fb and chopped fb to make wheel adapters. Attached the adapters to the wheels w screws, mounted the new dual motors, added a motorcycle battery, and lost the seat like a big ol dummy- hadta make one in a pinch out of a 2x6 lol
That lil thing goes everywhere and anywhere now. The front tire adds some give for bumps, and the rear treads grab. he loves it, Rides it all over the big backyard. Proud dad

Looks great Shem , I like the door vents , a nice touch .
Getting panels level and equal can be a real bear sometimes but persistence pays off!
Stay safe

I think I remember a member here mounted the upper louvered vents to the hood, and the lower small vent separate to the lower runner valance part that comes up.
