Quarter window pockets!  :drool
nice bike man lol
I made these in steel because I feel they are an important part of the firewall and the perimeter gives extra surface area to bond the rear quarter panel to.

Well the 'side yard setup ' is indeed - just that .... it does have the feature of a lift though , so I can bring the car up to ground level " thunderbirds style " . This is a couple of pics of the firewall and a gratuitous pic of my other passion .......well for 20K , I decided to leave it.. ::)

Whoa,  ::bounce , thanks for the nice 'kick start ' to the diary  :) . The chassis drawing example shown and the frame on the rotisserie is my own drawing and build - which explains some of the time taken to date  ::study . These pictures are 2012/2013 to give some kind of starting point and an order to progress , also I was unable to make any headway for the last 6 months of last year to now.
I have only very recently obtained the necessary LP640 panels to update the body , so the upgrade is the reasoning behind the name of the build or 'EVO' . The two body versions also featured heavily in EVO Magazine as long term cars , one of which covered 100,000+ miles , so   fitted in nicely with the theme.
I also have an ongoing task to complete with regard to photographing all of the interior components and adding to the Interior subsection. This I aim to complete soon now that the light / weather is turning favourable to take good quality pictures .

These are the target pictures of the completed car - I was looking for  :CSS, and a couple more of the suspended frame with body panels in place.

Happy B-Day! I've got my popcorn ready because I am not gonna miss one bit of this thread. I expect it will be epic! :drool

Are those chassis pics OEM or is that the one you built yourself? I assume it is your own creation but it looks too good!
