I'm hoping, crosses fingers! Getting more parts in every day.
Got a polished intercooler from a RX-7 in the mail today! 
Intercooler core is 12" X 12" X 3" still need to get the second one to match!
Hey Brad you'll have to come down and help me sometime if you get a chance, LOL.

Got a Jack shaft for the 6 speed in today. It came off of a Cobalt SS with a 5 speed. Kinda funny all the parts had Saab on them.
Michael,
I'm going to mount the lights behind the fiberglass panel, only letting the lens protrude, and space the mesh grill about half an inch off of the fiberglass giving the tail a smoother more finished look. I will also cut out most of the center of the glass panel between the tail lights. I'm going to use thin sheet metal, like the real thing, for the figure eight bezels around the lights and for the trim around the screen. Well this is kinda my plan, but you know what they say all plans do change.

Stock flexplate with custom made button flywheel and quartermaster triple disc clutch.
Flexplate will be for starter only, may even get it lightened.

James,
I like your plans for the lights. For now I am going to keep mine looking stock. I agree about plans, keep your mind open to all ideas and continue to make the car your own. That quickly became my rule of thumb, if I counldn't have an EXACT F-40 replica I was going to make the F-40 replica I wanted. Working on the LM style light buckets at the moment and cutting the openings in the body. Keep it up.

Hey James
You are creating a true work of art. Keep up the good work!
Hope you find time to work on your F40.
Thx for helping me with the shipping of my F40 across the pond to Holland.
This guy is doing a great job setting up international shipping from the seller to me. He helps me at no cost, thats outright friendlyness for you, hard to find these days.

fiero-iwan, having met James I can verify that he is a great guy, he has went out of his way to help me when I was in hard times.
He is also a whiz on engines, and just about everything I've thrown at him so far.
The only real problem I have with him is that he won't just give me his F40
