What a cool project of a very cool car. It looks terrific !  Quite a bit different than working on a 1/25 scale model.

Yes!  My eyes won't let me build 1/24 anymore.. without making a mess.  

Here are the fuel injection and ignition parts fresh off the printer.  I'll be plumbing and wiring next week.

Today, I managed to make a little progress.  I made the fuel lines from extruded yellow pla filament.  Maybe it's too yellow, but I couldn't find anything else laying around that I could use.  The lines are a bit translucent, which was a fortunate accident.

I painted and glued the inside of the wheels into place, and then permanently glued the wheels and tires on the suspension.

Also glued the roll bar in place as well as the rear wing "w" brace.
