Hello Guys,
Some more progress... The project seems to have no end. Come on!
Like all assembly - and this was no different - has its setbacks! In collage of last magazine cover inside the body, my fingers got super glue… Guess what?! Two very ugly marks. There was no way! So let's redo this part.
From_Dusk_Till_Dawn_155_zps7943b1ff.jpg
Bodyshop on the affected part and the whole step-by-step again...
From_Dusk_Till_Dawn_156_zps4c0cb4af.jpg
Delay in another two days in the car gig. But're done! Started finishing the engine too. I did the sparkplugs...
From_Dusk_Till_Dawn_157_zps10f189e0.jpg
Monsters exausts tips! Really noise…
From_Dusk_Till_Dawn_158_zps4614791c.jpg
Spark plug wires properly installed... I tried to order the mess.

Hello Guys,
Let a few more steps. Assembly and installation of the entire rear suspension. Inclusion of all micro-screws and nuts.
From_Dusk_Till_Dawn_163_zps5585f26c.jpg
Careful work of "locksmith", filing all burrs and excess "iron" in the chassis and suspension joints.
From_Dusk_Till_Dawn_164_zpsa40e7419.jpg
Almost everything in order in the chassis and suspensions...
From_Dusk_Till_Dawn_166_zpsb5a27b22.jpg
