Hi Shem, I am not too far from you, In Vallejo. Anything new? Really digging the lines of that car, soooo much better than the beginning of your post.

No updates in a while? I guess you are taking a much needed vacation?

Yeah kinda sorta takin a break.Moms going downhill and between watching her and the kid 5 days a week now isnt leaving a lotta time for the car. I need a welder to make the vents for the hood sides and finish up the spoiler, my works just not good enuf. Begged one of the guys from the shop(all 3 actually) and one came and will help make the vents and help w the spoiler. he said finish it up and we will make em after. So I wrapped up the doors, hood, and a cupla spots on the trunk
Had a tiny wound on my finger that turned green, a little squeeze and
Thats been there awhile lol
Heres how the spoilers turning out, a little ways into the figuring out what the hell im doing stage
Figured it out, getting help!
So the LM version doesnt have the side vents and the f40 logo on it, but I like em. The hood vents I need to fill the gap, looks chitty in side. Chitty chitty bang bang. For the logo I experimented printing out a keychain I got offa thingiverse till I got the size that I liked. Dug in deep w the flap disc, smoothed it out w the front of the belt sander, Hvac taped that sob in there, poured and hoped for the best.
Tape moved and the sob got covered up, broke it out w the belt sander
Came out pretty good, till I took off too much w the belt sander, and forgot to take pics like a big ol dummy lol. Its coming out pretty good, trying to find the balance between logo depth and not making the wing stand have a weird belly.
Gonna wrap these things up, shoot and clear it for clear coat. Very soon hopefully
Picked up a 91 650sx cheap to flip. Getting back into polishing small turds at home. You can see my efforts at the hood vents in the background on the floor.
damn now I wanna keep it but my lower backs saying hell no

Rosso corsa it is sir! Luv the rotisserie wowsers! Been picking at it lil by lil, got some primer shot. Guess who hates sanding?! Cupla bugs to fix and the subatomic pinholes that need fillin. Found a few cracks, fixed em. Doing the 320grit run now, outta paper. May shoot it this weekend, hafta work saturday. Filled up the upper section of the wingstands w some fb and 1x4, and used a forstener bit to make the holes to attach the spoiler. Wrapped a pencil in some sandpaper to sand the inner holes. Coming out good
