If you remember the rendering, I am popping out the fenders at the doors. This leaves the area in front of the door exposed to heat, water, wind noise and all kinds of things I don't want. I need to build a close out that mimics the fender profile and door gap. These kinda kicked my butt:













Didn't get any easier on the other side:








This one shows both wiper motors and covers installed. The hood covers the wipers and intercooler fill



Now I can start building the buck for the fenders...



Made a bracket to mount the ABS. Got it tucked up behind the subframe:












And with that I'm going to call it. Tired of doing this on the computer!

Incredible work. Designing the necessary items to work within the packaging constraints is cool to see & showing what you can regarding how you approach the 'build' portion of each is appreciated.

Very glad to see you're still chipping away @ this. I'll continue watching for future updates as well!

Craig, Holy **** !!

Incredible work and I can't imagine the amount of time you have in the filler panels. I can't wait to see this car in person as it is going to be incredible.

Thanks for the update. So many "got carried away" projects on this site and the internet but this is probably the most over the top build I've ever seen and I've seen a lot. Glad its still in progress there was a point where I wondered if it had been abandoned.

and holy cow those Inconel wrapped exhaust items - probably cheaper to wrap them in $100 bills albeit quite a bit less effective !
