Its looking real good there Baz, not long to go now.
It is hard for me to see clearly, but it looks like the side indicators have been "sunk" into the body? if that is so then that is a nice touch that most dont go to the extent off.
Good luck with the painters.

Thanks Boxhead,
I'm still not comfortable in calling you that. It sounds insulting to me, far more so than 'Boxy,' but there you go. I know where I stand in that regard and we're not going there again, are we mate  
I really appreciate your sentiments of "Good Luck." Hopefully it will turn out as good as I hoped it would.
No. It's just an optical illusion. The indicators have not been recessed into the body, but now that you mention it, I wish I would have thought of that earlier. It would have made a nice touch along with the side indicators from the current model Statesman, Caprice, Grange; you know the long narrow light assembly wiich contains a number of LED lights. How about having them so that they light up, one after the other, starting from the front, when the indicators are activated. Too late now though. She's locked away in the Paint Shop and I won't see her again for about 6 to 8 weeks.
Have fun and good luck at Shelbyfest. Safe drive to and from Alice.
Baz.

Recessed side indicators would look good.
I've also seen wheel arch splats recessed flush into the body work. Looked fantastic.
Well going by what I have seen so far of Baz's Cobra build, by the time it's finished, the last thing people will be looking will be the side indicators.

Thanks mate. By the way, I expect you to post some pics from Wakefield on Wednesday when the RCR Roadster breaks 60 secs. Let us know the results.

Must be my old eyes seeing things.
I will be at Shelby fest but only as a spectator this year Baz, I am flying tio Melbourne for my sisters wedding and by shear dumb luck it is the same weekend, So plan is to drive to Winton in a rental on Friday, watch some practice, catch up and have a laugh, Watch some racing on Saturday morning then leave by about 11.00am to be at the wedding in time.
Then back up on Sunday morning to watch the gymkahna, might even see if they will let me have a go in the rental car
