Thanks of looking Mickey M
I'm still amazed at how much time is takes to build a car, when I first started I figured it would be a year maybe maybe 15 months but when I see how much time it takes to move forward so little I'll be lucky to finish in 3 years. LOL

Well for those of you that have read my build you are almost up to date!!!
I competed cutting out of the old panels and removing the foam, I then added two more layers of 1 1/2 oz mat to seal the old and new so that is now 6 layers of glass mat!!





I am currently building and installing the scoops for the lower duct ,I sandwiched carbon finer in-between 1 1/2 oz matt






Having the rear clip off really makes it easier to work on areas like the rear sharks vents!!

I was able to get the ducts assembled and installed today, I hope to get them glassed in tomorrow. I still need to extend the inside edge of the ducts to close it in.
So then I will need to finish off the rear fender vents do some body work and I can reinstall the rear clip on the car. That will be a milestone I'll be able to fire up the car and turn it around to star on the front Yea!!! winter project here we come...

Well I'm back at it ,my wife and I took a quick trip down to Vegas for 4 days, it was a nice break but I was eager to get back to the project.
I decided I wanted to make the lower intake have a longer flow which takes it into the door, so I need to cut out a bit of the lower door jam. I then need to finish the lower intake side panel. I think it turned out pretty good makes the intake look big and meaty. I hope to finish the drivers side tomorrow.

It is getting a bit harder to work on the car with the unsettled weather and the need to keep things dry. I built a small shelter to work under but have a 10x10 one with sides coming. It is progressing but I may have to leave it out side for the winter as I still need to finish it off before it is installed permitaly. I't is really a lot easier to work on when it is off the car and I want to get it right. I need to get the car flipped around so I can work on the front end over the winter. Here are a few pic for a update.
