Thank you so much, here's a bit more


Today we started to play with rear wing (but ran out of material) there will be lots of tweaking on this one
trying to fit around everything and still make it look right

A few pics of what's going on, Clynt getting started on rear wings...



First pic below: wings dips are closer



Second pic below: wings dips are further apart





Tail pipes will be moved in-board





I'm still not sure about the overall rear wing look yet we'll have to tweak it more this week.

Now add a set of Corvette rollers and your all set for the ..High driveway , high curb, and or speed bump. It's a cheep mod but the payoff is big the first time you hit ground.

Thanks troyboy, I have missed that part of your build RBS2 may not need holy rollers, the front is shorter and stock hight than yours.
Today I'll shoot some side shots and hight measurement.

Today Antony (nephew) and I turned RBS2 around so we can view front end and work on it better.



Clynt and I decided to move hood 3" forward, so we don't have to extend hood, cutting old hinges off



Welding hinges new location 3" forward (using old hood with headlight openings, so we can see what we're doing)





Then we jumped to finish front wing, cutting material...





Adding cross members on front wing





Jumping back to hood opens nice







It was a long day
