I am just blown away and look forward to every single pic you guys post...

Thanks so much for taking the time to do that for us...

Progress continues on the rear valance with fab work on the diffuser 'scoops'. With the openings created and new lower sheetmetal blended with the body we start laying out the shape and spacing of the outer wall.

You can see from this shot that the scoops are not just flat sheetmetal bent to the 2d profile. Each scoop now has a flared edge, steps, attachment bosses, and a wall thickness!

sick!!! That starting to look more like a super car! The interior is going to fall short to the rest of the build. Are you going to be doing the interior also?

Spoiler layout: as in the rendering, the rear and front edge will be open, the upright is only for building surfaces up to for now.
