Sorry for not updating guys! Been working on my race car a bunch!

So I am continuing to flange all the body panels and it is starting to really look sharp. I also partnered up with a few forum members on an OEM rear bumper so that fit up will come soon. Glued the OEM under hood to the Duraflex front hood and it really made a tough part! That 3m body panel adhesive is no joke. I have a long winter ahead so I will be going at it pretty hard!

Dude I love the Liberty Walks! I actually know a guy in Canada that has some molds of them but he is crazy busy and hasn't gotten around to making me a pair! I know IKR was interested also

Couldn't look at the side vents anymore! I cut the air vents off on the sides and made them flanged. Slowly getting the body closer and closer to OEM and paint!

***Update***

After talking to the builder of the shell, he told me he stretched the front hood 6'' to fix the flat windshield for the Maxima windshield. I went ahead and cut that off the hood and fixed the bottom of the windshield area. It looks 100 times better in my opinion! Took the car around the block like this, thing freakin moves!

***Worth noting that I couldn't get the  pictures to rotate because my iPhone kept taking "live" photos, turned that dumb setting off and now we are good.

***Update***

I couldn't stand looking at those brakes anymore so I upgraded to some Dodge Scat pack rotors and calipers. Significantly bigger rotors and I went from 12'' to 14.5''. They fill the wheel much better! I also cut out the wheel wells as they were funky shaped. I made them fit a little better with a fiberglass lip and some filler. The car drives and moves on its own and its a riot! Absolute blast to drive. The 4.2l V8 screams

I cant get the picture to stay right side up, any ideas?

Finished the OEM bumper mold and man that was more glass work then I wanted to do. Came out great though and the mold will last 50 pulls if I needed it too. So had to do some modifying to the front clip since this race shell is about a 15/16th scale to OEM. Cut the front end and widened it 1/2” and reglassed. The OE bumper looks 10x better! Grilles fit perfect and front lip fits perfect! Very happy with it.

Also cut out the rear and started glassing a “pocket” for the grille surround.

Been working on getting the cooling system and power steering done. Unfortunately I had to abandon the bigger Jeep radiators. After changing some body mounts I actually shortened the height between the ground and the rear bat wing. Running some 3 row race radiators off a Honda Civic. Will actually give me more room for the oil cooler and fuel cell.

Also getting ready to start cutting out the grille surrounds that were molded in the shell. I’m running OEM surrounds and OEM grilles. Steady as she goes!
