Alot of the appreciation of a replica is building it which you are doing.  Yes very demanding, not only is the building demanding the time in the parts searching can be very demanding as well.  On the Diablo buying comment, Ya I don't know why someone hasn't bought it yet.  I had lots of interest but mostly dreamers without the cash in which we all been there once, lol.  Well if it does sell i'll give someone a good deal, but if not I will have my Diablo dream come true in the near future.  P.S. Your roadster will be a gem when its done ::thumbup, i love looking at your progress pics and how you are so involved in the car.  That feeling in itself makes me wish I sold you mine, it would have had a good home!  ::LAMBO ::toothy

My build is coming along very slow.  I just finished up a moderate restoration on a truck and sold it.  I started redoing (3) ATV's right now then I'm highly concentrating on my Eleanor and the Bandit Trans Am.  Still have the Diablo for sale but not trying to push the issue because I still would like to finish it for myself, lol.  If I could donate a solid month to the Diablo it could be done but as you heard too many projects pulling me from every which way.  I was gonna say the red Diablo has alot of the same parts as mine does and just wanted that reassurance that mine is an IFG.  Keep up the good work and maybe when I'm in Columbus sometime you can show off the Roadster!  TTYL

Minihawn:  I found a quarter panel pic for you to look at.  It appears that I may have been slightly mistaken.  It looks like the rocker does stick out a little.  Your discretion on how much.  See the attached pic.   :'( ::scratch  Jim

its cool, i  knew that now . but thank u ::rocker
