Since the last posting the doors have been gapped and final fitted, wire installed in the front wheel arches. All metal finishing completed forward of the rear wheel wells. Hood is gapped and fitted. The only work remaining is to skin the deck lid and fit, wire the rear wheel wells and metal finish weld seams. This shouldn't take much longer.

About three weeks ago we completed the construction and mounting of the body. We've since started fabricating cockpit sheet metal and wheel well closeouts. In addition to this the customer has decided to not paint the car and go with a brushed finish which we are also doing.

Looking at this, you really get a sense of just how much work it is and how much talent it takes to make a body like this. Absolutely fantastic!

Then you likely repaired some misplaced rivet holes on my CSX (black front hood) years ago.

Hood still looks great.
