    Tried using the florist foam for the center section mold and I have to wonder why it took me so dam long to try it. Magic stuff!
    The recess for the AC condenser and front brake cooling ducts is molded and I think turned out pretty good.
    Ran out of time to do any body work on the front but I did get the hinge brackets tweaked and ready to powder coat tomorrow.
    I tried to stay as true to Ash’s photoshop idea as I could but the size of the number plate forced a slight change.
    Looks like tomorrow is a Bondo day!

    Actually, Dave, I think I like your way better!
    (Damn big license plates...how come everything in Texas is oversized? )

    Glad I could help out, even if only minimally. Make sure you plug my vendor status so I can do this for others, too! (Shameless self promotion! )

    No, seriously, I really like what you are doing with your car! You deserve a lot of credit for your originality and design/fabrication skills. This is a truly unique build.

    Thanks Ash!
    I am almost done with the body work for the front and am saving the next set of photos for the final product probably around mid this week.
    It was your concept that solved the problem of both form and function and I can’t emphasize the benefits enough of having a few variations of a concept on paper to help guide the process.
    Very glad that you are now able to offer this as a service to fellow builders.
    Cheers,
    Dave
