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.

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!

Thanks for your enthusiasm! Your brain definitely works like mine. I have spent much time trying to figure out how to include the tail of the plane into the car. 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!

Well I skipped out on the LA Roadsters show to get some work done. Here are the pics of what I accomplished this weekend.
