Here are some more pics of the current state of the car. Last stage of primer on doors, fenders and body. I hope to get to color soon.







Here is my solution to too much space in the fender at the bottom. Now I won't have to use shims.


I cut slits in the inside of the fenders where the scoops are to make a place for a metal mesh, something like this. I think I will have some cut to this shape on a water jet that matches the honeycomb panels on the rear, also the plastic inserts in the nose will not be square mesh but honeycomb. I will have pieces cut for them as well.


In order to get the cheeeep fiber glass wing to fit snug I had to remove the regular mounting parts and sand the bottoms so they sat tight on the deck lid. I put some 80grit sticky sand paper on the deck lid where the wing sets and sanded in the same plane so the bottoms match perfect. Then I epoxied bolts in, not what I wanted as far as looks go on the inside but I will have to come up with a creative solution.

Thats all for now.
