Time for more pics of the progress of, perhaps the most malevolent vehicle in the shop: "The Truth".

Finishing up the metalwork on the hood and windshield cowl. You can see in this pic how deep we managed to get the pockets to extend into the already packed engine bay:





The lowest faces of the hood scoops will eventually be opened up and receive a machined bezel and mesh.

Attention then turns to the front splitter and lower valance opening.

Incorporating the 'winglets' on the splitter:











We dont always engineer our standoffs, but when we do, they are cnc cut and airfoil shaped...







With the main shape of the splitter locked in, we now begin the lower valance (or lack thereof) and the opening shape:

I'm more impressed every time I check progress! The recessed cowl the width of the hood vents with cowl induction overlap looks like it was meant to be that way. The splitter is really nice too! Great job!

This car was so cool before all of the extra mods, but now it's way cool.

can you tell me what the length of the wood you used for your stands? Are the lifts the same size front and rear? I need to make a set asap.
