Thank you for the comments.
I'm not sure about the color yet. I'm partial to Ruby Red. I used it on one of my cars and I loved it. My Cobra was a Atomic Orange Effect. I liked that a lot too.
I'm having a problem with the air cleaner sticking through the hood. The original Cheetahs had holes cut into the hood for Carb/Aircleaner clearance. I would prefer not to have to cut the hood. I have an LS engine (needs rebuilding). The LS will fit under the hood.
When I got to the shop this morning I mocked up a cowl induction bulge. And, I placed a spoiler mold that I have on the rear deck. I think that I'll mold the body and hood with out these pieces. Then make final parts and mold them separately. They can be riveted or bonded on.
- I bonded the thin plywood cover onto the rear deck.
- I worked on the interior of the cockpit.
- I worked some on the windshield base.
- I worked on the seam between the hood and body. When I mold the hood there will be a return molded into the firewall mating edge. That way the body and hood will fit perfectly.
