The weathering looks great. What part of Ontario are ya from?

Stacked glasses, 3.5 and 4.0 strengths work for me. I should invest in a proper magnavisor.

Very cool concept, great detail on the engine. Perfect stance. A build to be proud of.

Outta the park, very nice curb side build.

Welcome to the fun. No shortage of inspiration here.

I too have bought a ton of stuff from him, great service and quality parts.

This is a joy to watch. Fantastic scratching going on here.

Thank you. Thanks. It actually wasn't too bad to imagineer/engineer.

Wow just wow, the engine detail is incredible.

Every time I look at this I find more and more amazing detail work. MFH sure do make a quality offering.

Dude! What kit is this I need to buy it. I have a previously started 330 from fujimi. This kit has everything I am doing to my build. I love to see a WIP the work is just incredible, BRAVO. .

Ok now that the hood hing upgrade is basically sorted. I want to move to redoing the interior colour. First thought is a tan/beige and redish brown theme. Something that will contrast the blue orange shell and still look classy. Any thoughts suggestions are appreciated.

Man those decals sure look like they fraught you all the way. A few coats of clear and they be gold. Nice work.

I was concerned about the clip tabs, that is why I asked. I would just cut them all off anyway. Great looking build dude!

That looks tons better! Are ya happy with it now, or does it need more trimming? Cool stuff JC.

Thanks man. Thanks, and you are welcome. Glad I am a bit of an inspiration for someone. The rods rest against the shell. Look at the orange circled area. Thanks A-G, it was simply a need due to the limited opening of the stock hood. Even open all the way it left the engine bay in a dark shadow. I just hope I can transfer ALL this onto the built shell/hood/chassis with out any unrecoverable damage to it.

Now that is a build not many do. Fantastic build! How did you find the fit? I have a couple of these in the stash.

Nope, I found that vid, thanks for trying. The Garlits crash I am thinking of is not the English Town crash, which has a ton of video posts. It might be the Spokane crash. I have found images of the car on the flat bed from that track with panels missing from the cockpit forward. And the search continues.

That colour blue is really sharp, and the paint looks like it turned out great.

Hi guys, not much more of an update but progress none the less. After some more fiddling around and trimming I have the proof of concept completed. The hood opens and closes without a hitch and sits flush when closed, as it should. Next will be transferring all this onto the actual model. This kit was nothing more then a test mule, and proof of concept. I think I will bend up another set of hing rods to use on the finished model, these have been tweaked so many times they are no so crisp anymore. The hing rods and anchors points can be for this kit to be used when ever I actually build this up. The last pic shows the anchor points, again, these will all be cleaned up on the finished shell. Both hing anchor points float, the anchors at the chassis end are a half moon rod configuration, allowing that end to pivot and move as need at the same time. The hood anchor point can float back and forth just enough so that when the hood is open the bottom swings out just enough to clear the grill. Thanks for looking in on the progress.

I really love this stuff, been using it for the past few years. I actually spray it on at 30psi, and ya, laying it on thick is key.

WOW, he survived that is amazing. Good to know. That is the crash I am remembering too. The car looked like it was disintegrating.

I tried the same test on one of my cars, total junk for exterior use. Although in all fairness, I have yet to try letting it cure and then clearing it with Alclad clear.

If Geoff is vouching for it's quality you know it has to be quality product and the user just needs to figure out the best method that work for them of applying/using it.
