You and Nick are flying on the car. It looks really good. Out of curiousity, how do you transition from the glass body to the aluminum flares? Does the aluminum get encased in the glass except for the lip?

Great question!
I plan to cut the vertical portion of the fender off leaving the round off the body. I will fab a fender and attach via epoxy and countersunk rivots. Finishing with glass and filler. In theory it should work.......

Thanks, I hope it will rival your car someday....

Your car will be the 2nd sexiest car in the world after the one you are replicating!!! I can't wait to see it done. Great choice of build!
