Very nice work on the panels, looks sharp and clean.
It's a great feeling when the body starts taking shape and you can't see 'through' the car any more!
Good job

Niko, The core is 14" wide x 13.75" tall x 2" thick. It's one of the "Honda" radiators from CXRacing. |

The sheet metal work has begun. I'm using 0.050" 5052 for most of it. The belly pan is 0.120". |

A few more panels added to the car. All the rear deck panels are made including shock tower covers. The "passenger" area cover and the last piece of the driveshaft tunnel are fit. |

Good news: the TTL nosecone (thank you Jack, it's a nice piece) is here and it appears that with a low profile filler cap on the valve cover, there won't need to be a bubble in the hood.  With all the years of working on GT cars, it was a real pleasure to start any work on a car by removing most of the body panels. On the EMod car the scuttle was made in several pieces due to the forward cage bars. So, I'm taking the extra time to make most of the panels on this car easily removable. The top center panel of the scuttle will be fastened by small countersunk quick-release allen buttons. The other front panels will be fastened by countersunk 10-24 allen bolts. The engine bay belly pan edges extend beyond the frame rail and the side panels rest on the top of them such that the allen bolts coming up from below, will be hidden. The fenders will be clamshell, so their attachment points will capture the upper part of the side panels. The front suspension panel bolts will be visible. |

There's lots of great work there, but a particular congratulation is due for the clever front anti-roll bar and the routing of the engine bay diagonal(s) through the headers. Cheers, |

Looking really good Ron! Iffen I didn't know better, I'd think you knew what you were doing!
