Here is some updates for everyone.

I welded out the new front clip, set the chassis on the table at ride height and proceeded to cut the the old center section out and narrowed the rails 4 inches. This was another design change that was decided when I switched the suspension plan to IFS.

Looks very nice and I can't wait to go for a ride.

I'd say you've earned it! :thankyou:

Absolutely awesome! The precision of your work is incredible!

I'm sure you've already considered it but... Any thoughts on maybe a tasteful removable wing that mimics the shape of that iconic twin tail? Too much?
Seems like it would flow and accent that nose really well.

Anyway you do it, its gonna be awesome and I hope to see it in person some day! :thumbsup:

Its just so hard to figure out where the line of too much is. I obviously want it to look like the B25 but I also want it to have timeless style. With that said I have not yet figured out how to cleanly incorporate the tail in a way to make it not so "in your face".

If I do I wont hesitate to share!

Check out Foose's "P32"..... he knows how to do kool.... and how to do kool in the hot rod world (not an airplane museum) LOL.

Would have liked to see you - but I like seeing the progress pics even better! LOL
