After 3 months the top of the bodywork is in plastic (& filler) rather than just cardboard ...

Love the stacks!

Working on the front section of the body - I ran out of 4.8mm square form
 



Rear body section is just a 4 sided box ATM...




Top section has had 2 or 3 passes of filler & sanding, plus I've added the V (or it could be a L at 45 degrees, or a boomerang ) as seen on the small Matchbox version, as are the fake vents on the front upright sides.

Ram tubes/Velocity stacks just always make life better!

Completed the grille, made & taped on some headlights, bonded the three sections of body together, and drilled some pilot holes for the rear screws - hence the cocktail sticks

I don't think I'd realised just how big & silly this was going to turn out

We like silly projects

Built the rear arches ... seat sides are angled, so the block on the inside is to not only have the tops of the arches horizontal, but have them angled towards the outside, in a nod to the original. 

Not sure how they'll fix on, trim tape probably won't be enough, so I'll have to bolt through the seat.
