Archie, Knowing how much sanding went into those vents is making my fingertips bleed, I've been there making plugs for parts.
This car is going to be fantastic!!!
Good enough, isn't. Joe

Thanks for your kind comments.
I'm jumping forward a little bit right now.
Last week we spent the 1st few days getting the edges & joints finished up & we made the scoops in the rocker panels.
Then at the end of last week we painted it in primer. Today we put it all back together.....
I think it looks pretty good all one color even if it is just primer.

I'll bet it's been a real ego/moral boost to the crew to see the car at this stage, the finish line is in sight now!!! There's not many big projects that I'm willing to take on anymore, but if that body was avalible in that level of detail, I'd do one!!!
I fully understand the buissness reasons why you won't be tooling this project, I spent about a decade and a half chasing my personal white whale (Lambo Countach) and spent enough money to have bought my house with cash, all I have to show for it are a bunch of parts and molds taking up space, and a couple of magazine articals.
The car so far is awesome

Last night, on Super Cars Exposed, Tanner Foust went to Italy to drive some Lamborghinis. While chatting with some president of the Italian Lamborghini club, they spent a little time with a Miura SV. Oh she was gorgeous!  She was the most amazing color of blue that I had ever layed my eyes on. The Miura, easily one of my top ten favorite automobiles.

Yeah, I was surfing & I saw that but I wasn't quick enough. That video showed the hood vents real good. The hood vents are one thing we still have to fabricate & I really don't have any real good pics of them.
In fact, that's why i can online just now was to see if I can find out when that show is going to run again so I can record it.
