Fabricated the rear brake cooling ducts. Cobbled together and not 100% accurate but I'll take it.

I don't know about cobbled together, looks pretty good to me.

Hey JC...well..I'm still working on my cousins 72  short tack Chevelle. Had to take a break on it as  there were Life things that needed attended to. Now...I just went into the shop yesterday and started back on it and had to figure out where I was on the thinking part of the build. You know that took some time!! LOL. Once I get all the small things taken care of I'll post a WIP on it. Thanks for asking.

Engine - yes, hinging - no.

Got the top half of the engine fitted.  Using and engine from a built-up. I pick them up when I can find them cheap.

JC, does this kit not have an engine top??

Mike this isn't a kit.  I started with nothing more than a resin body.  I'm using Fujimi Porsche 911 parts to complete the project along with some scratch building. I'm using a Fujimi curbside chassis that only includes engine detail for the lower half.  The top half comes from another Fujimi Porsche 911 built-up I purchased awhile back.
