Yes, I also still need to run 2 more tubes across the back near the hinges, I just ran out of material

Will you be welding in a plate to bolt your hood latch to?  Jim

Headed down to visit Texas this weekend and deliver a bunch of OEM parts to be splashed, hopefully I'll have some prices and times for the duplicated parts to be finished.

Made the inner structure for the inner hood, got it ready to be bonded to the inner and outer hood. Also have a CF ash tray on its way in the mail.

Im really pushing to have a completion date for early spring. I hate to put a time frame on this build but that will be my 2 year mark and I almost have every part I need with the acceptation of door cards.  . My plan as of now will either be to keep it or sell it and start over with a OEM chassis/body with a Audi or LS drivetrain. The good thing about having all of the OEM parts splashed is they will fit on a OEM car, less expensive parts ill have access too and Ill have a real car in the end minus motor and tranny.

OK, Justin.  Just a thought.  Nothing like a triangle for strength along with gussets in the corners.  Jim

I see you kicked up a notch ,you have your build in high gear,excellent progress ,permanent mounting seems real close.    

[usmc_butler]

Maybe it's my eyes or the picture of your chassis but I can't see any triangular brace from the rocker to the rear upper stretch area.  I really think that it is a necessity to have one on each side.  Jim

Jim no I didn't but I will add them. I still need to put another coat of paint on and before I do that I will add those braces. This is the first time I've seen that done and that is a crucial area to be strong and not flex or even break! Thanks Jim

Last to end the weekend, I got the chassis all ready for paint, finished welding all gaps and filled any leftover gaps/areas with 3M windshield urethane to sound dampen and seal areas. Lastly painted the chassis last night.

This week I will be installing Dyna Mat to seal and sound dampen the cockpit area of the car and install the body for the last time

I made a templete for the filler between the Fiero door gap and the Murci door gap then cut it out of plates steel with my plasma cutter and welded in place..

Console Mock up

[usmc_butler]

Worked on a few things this weekend and pictures speak louder then words so forgive me if I just post the pictures and if you have any questions just ask. That seems to be how my build has been going lately, not really much to explain.

I started taking apart the OEM consoler armrest trim and removed the burnt lid and tore it apart getting ready to have another pad made. Also mounted it on the good CF armrest piece that was made by Frank.

That's a panel I've been wanting
the little hood adjusters that go on it are cheap too

[usmc_butler]

String Ya I can measure it for you  It will be this evening when I get home... I do actually need that bumper closing panel, it goes with that hinge cover piece I already have and in your picture... Can you copy and sell one or know where one might be to buy?

Is it possible to measure the width of the coupe -changer panel please , also I have a bumper closing trim panel if there is any demand for a copy .
