I built mine the same way as you know. It's not ideal to fabricate after or lean over those pretty fenders, but you can execute well. Take your time and protect your car well. I used sheet plastic with towels on top, then fender covers where I was working. It lets you use the fenders for misc. things like bolts and wiring. It may be early for plastic over that paint. I like what the big shops do with the paper as well. I can honestly say I built mine without any scratches on the paint or extra holes, etc. You are putting a little dinky mouse over the fenders, I had to shoe horn that big block in there. Especially after I got the road race pan on it. It barely fit.
It will go quick now. Good luck getting anything else done. Apologize to your wife up front. ha

Yeah I'm excited. It'll be fun to work on and yes, protecting the finish is top priority. Jim says no plastic on the paint and Blake (Speedtech) warned against the paper. Jeff and I still have to build the engine and there is some work to do on the inside before we get to engine compartment. Not going to rush.

Totally loving those stainless fasteners on the doors and fenders. Killer details! Did you say they're custom? I'm guessing, turned on a lathe, not cnc?

You just doubled your number of posts man! Slow down...you're making Greg Weld look bad.
A buddy turned a bunch for a project he's working on and offered to make a few for me. Greatly appreciated and lucky that he would include me. My goal is to keep it simple and clean. I think the stainless adds to that vibe. Thanks for the positive reinforcement. I really am shooting from the hip on a lot of this.
