I worked on recessing the Plexiglas side vents. I wanted the vents to be flush with the body and not sitting on top. This will give it a cleaner look. The fiberglass will be reinforced underneath with some layers of fiberglass. I taped the Plexiglas so that it wouldn’t be scratched.

I worked on fitting the […]

I continued to work on the front half of the body, filling seams and voids.

I then worked on the aluminum panels for the sides of the trunk panels. I bent and then drilled attaching holes. The drivers side storage compartment will come in handy.

I then put the rear half of the radiator duct work in […]

The HSRF work on the rear is finally finished.

The final HSRF work on the rear was to match the drivers side spoiler to body flare to the passenger side. I used an adjustable profile gauge to match the two sides.

The rear side markers are now fitted. I had to modify this area to accept the […]

I continued to sand and apply HSRF. This time it was sanding the drivers side hatch seam. I then prepped the top hatch seam and all the other hollows around the hatch. I then applied HSRF to these locations and on the drivers side of the rear spoiler. I am using a profile gauge to […]

I sanded the HSRF I put on yesterday. I then applied more HSRF to those spots that needed it.

I then worked on the design of the sides of the hatch. I used to aluminum pieces that came with the kit as a starting point. I then figured out what needed to be changed to open […]

I spent the first part of the day sanding and applying HSRF to the rear half of the body.
