Moving 1986 miles is interesting endeavor, to say the least

At the end of April took the REDO and a bunch of other items to the new location.
At the end of June took another trailer load, tools compressor household goods.

2nd to the last picture shows the REDO current resting spot until the cabana/shop is completed.

Getting ready to move the REDO this spring and removed the 2ft ramps and installed 6ft.  No issues with getting the car in

Also installed a flush mount in floor winch system. 

Pretty happy with the results

Some progress on the REDO, batwings up and down!

Used a couple of linear actuators, Two relays and reversed the polarity
two momentary switches, one for up the other for down

At the top of the actuator a replica OE part attaches to the batwing
At the bottom of the actuator,  made a bracket out of tubing

Not a lot of progress on the REDO as I was working on my 02 F350 7.3L. Now that that is done the REDO is top priority, until it isn't  ::toothy

Bat Wings installed using replica OE hinges and actuator's for the up/down motion.  Relay wired etc.  The body gaps between the wings and engine bonnet caused me quite a bit of grief and endless adjustment.  Finally did a REDO and added some width to the passenger side and sanded the drivers' batwing.

Set up a mini paint booth in the heated shop to paint.  Too cold in the other building

Got the Taillights and grills fitted

Onward!! :CSS

The REDO received some updated LP670 side view mirrors from a FB pal, located in the UK.  They were 3D printed and OE size

The REDO is a G28 and OE size doesn't work to well.  Molds were made of the base of the sideview mirror shell, for each side of the car.

Once the part was pulled from the molds, the fiberglass part was modified to fit the G28. 

To reinforce the 3D printed shell CSM was added.  A lot of body work and then they were painted and cleared.

More cut and buff needs to be done on them, making progress

Sprayed the base and did a blend on the driver door and rear part of the qtr panel.

The clear the whole car.  Was going to be 49 overnight had to hook up some heaters.
