Thanks Steve,
I think so as well:3DSMILE: this one is really starting to take shape.
I covered the inside of the inner rear wheel fenders, then installed them in place. |

The blue paint really looks great against the ally floor pans.

Hi Craig,
The alloy work that you have done in the cockpit of this car is absolutely amazing. Most people will never realize how difficult it is to properly fabricate and fit these panels. Awesome job!!!
|
Personally, I'm happy to see the side vents painted! Nice job!

That's a detail that I can truly appreciate, as virtually all replica builders leave them in raw alloy or polished stainless (arguably more so for convenience than realism, but many like that look). Yes, they are a PITA to paint properly (speaking from experience), but with the right gun and line pressure you can do them well without sags/drips. |

They are truly a paint in the @ss to paint - took 3 tries and a good rub out before I was satisfied with mine. |

I got the rear corner panels of the trunk made up and fitted, put the weather seal on around the trunk opening.

You are making fantastic progress! Excellent workmanship.
