Yup said that in my post

It's not staying polished, just a needed step to get to where I'm goin

 

Ah ok, polished hoods are indeed unique.

 

Riviting wing to rear, every 4".... Slight wave but I'll make nice nice..



It will need a re spray to pe-rfect things... This color is hard to lay out when parts are painted separately.

 

This car is looking awesome! Loving the green/gold combo. And can't wait to see how the wing turns out 100% complete!

 

Top locked down, I'll work on closure gaps after she's bailed down.

 

lookin great! cnt wait to see the hood, how is the engine bay coming along?

 

Thanks! Waiting on mounts then I'm dropping it in...

Cage just came in!

 

can everyone please keep quoting pictures so the pages take all day to load? thanks.

LOL

anyway.. the "struts" on the trunk lip.. aren't they a bit redundant after having all the cool little braces underneath?

 

The struts are actaually serving a purpose... Rivits on the rear of the spoiler will ruin a clean look more so than the supports. Just the top of the wing is locked down, although it's more than enough support to hold her the rear braces are helping complete the cycle if you know what I mean.... Lol cuz I don't

 

Translation = there is no lower or rear mount for this lip, so the supports are actually pulling down & holding the lip on the trunk, not reinforcing against flex downforce/wind resistance

 

^^^^ he's the man! Thanks bro! lol

 

oooooooooh. i gotcha. and struts > rivets. got it.

 

Can't believe I've overlooked this thread. Great build man, can't wait to see her finished up!

 

no updates in 4 days!! shame on you for making us wait this long
