Got my doors trimmed up and here is how they fit on the G28 body... The only major change will be to the 1/4 glass opening it will need to be moved back to the OE location.

Finished up the batwings and the windshield trim piece needless to say everything will need final body work. Most of you may not be able to tell the difference but these are the updated OE sides I received from Autopro. They fit much better and tighter against the body when the wings are up feeding a better flow of air to the radiators.

I have also ordered several other items that should be here soon from different venders. After this next large batch of items arrive, I'm thinking, I finally have almost everything inside and out to finish my car other then carpet and Paint! That doesn't mean it should be done anytime soon but my wallet should feel much better in the coming months!

I really like the way that wing looks on the 640 also.  I would love my car to look like that, now only to go and find a wing  :LL:

Mike Didn't think about that I'll pm him and see if he will separate that from the complete kit. Ill still need to modify them but it should give me a starting point!

I like the look of the 670 wing on the 640 ::thumbup
did you give any thought to getting the wing struts from inspire composites.  I am pretty sure that you could modify them to mount the sv wing on your car.  If you want any measurement I can measure the ones I have from him.  Your build is looking awesome!

I haven't done much work over the week, mostly just research. I also have on order both left and right complete door handles, a pair of damaged OEM mirrors for the internals to fit on Autopro's mirrors & some motor trim pieces. I found the rear wing arches I plan on going with to mount to the LP670 wing. That's bout it this week  ::thumbup

This weekend my doors came in from No Bull and wow they are nice!!! We did a little dry fit and they wont require much trimming to fit very well. Also finishing up on the batwings and getting them finished inside and out. All they will require is some miner mud filling and sanding for them to be completely finished... Well, pictures speak louder then words so this is what ive get this week!

Yes there is a special gun used for it they come with tips that mix the material but I usually just squirt it on a mixing board and use a spreader to mix it up. Seems like you waste so much in the mixing tip and the stuff we were using has a 60 second working time so you would be switching tips quite often! Texas is the pro with this stuff he learned me everything I know about it!

Looking swell! Is there a special tool required for the panel bond adhesive? Or is it kind of like bondo, mix and apply?
I met a man with a dollar, we exchanged dollars and we still had a dollar. I met a man with an idea, we exchanged ideas and now we both have two ideas!!!

I'm glad you liked the mirror base!

What is that black stuff they used to bond that fuel door panel in place?

It's sims panel bond adhesive. Used it to attach the part to the body until we can come back and glass it in from the rear. The excess on top will be sanded off and smoothed down then a little filler added as needed. Shouldn't need much as bad as it looks it's pretty flush that's what I tried to show in the side picture there.

Here is a few pictures filling in the factory fuel hole and work on the bat wings. Sunday I am going to attach the OE sides on the wings and going to smooth out the back sides of the wings to look more original.

Ive been doing a little more work lately on the car. I have received quite a few pieces in the mail from Autopro and let me tell you everything he does is top notch! I received the new mirror base in and it isn't just a some fiberglass and resin, its made out of some sort composite or plastic, its so strong its insane, the work inside and out is phenomenal! I also purchased a bunch of parts from NoBull and they should be here soon starting with the outer door skins. Im really ready to get the doors on and windows working. Kelly prides himself on doing the doors so that is exciting!

In these pictures I am installing my OEM fuel door into a splashed Murci sail panel and graphing it into the G28 sail panel on the driver side.
