Not a lot happening here, but the rear valance got the lower section of a Corvette C5 spliced in. I like the vents and the lighter look of the tail now, and the exhausts will exit in the center, C5 style.

How in the heck did I miss this one?? What a cool restoration! I love it when a model that most people would throw away, gets a second chance at life. You're doing some great things here. Inspirational for sure!!

Really liking what you did there with the roll pan. I may have missed this in an early post but what tail lights are you using?

.....made molds of the door-skins from the original, trim-removed body panels.
Molds popped off, left hand one cleaned up. Why am I doing this?

Not a lot has happened on this lately, other than working on hinge designs for the panels. Not happy with anything yet, but some tweeking may get it. Also having some little issues with how the tonneau is going to fit and be removable to show it with the up-top.

Thanks guys. Glad you're enjoying the progress. Have to finish the firewall / trans tunnel and the panel hinges, plus finalize the windshield design.
