Nice going! Seems a pretty early body (because of the dual lower openings in the front apron)?
Please tell us how you curved the rear lexan window so nicely in shape??
Tnx!

I started at the middle top and bottom and worked out from there.

Next is adding a tab where circled to keep the fender off the rear of the 8 inch wide slicks.

I was having tire rub issues backing the red car up. Thought it was both sides...come to find out, the right side was almost 1.5" inboard! This is the same side that I had to reshape the rear fender around the light. Just got it all squarish again. No more rub!
I am very glad I happened to start on that side. Also, that car had negative camber and was rubbing. I raised the rear about an inch to lesson this a bit and still no rub. It was a good day!

Had to order a new pair of tie rods. Awaiting their arrival.

They are here. Time tomorrow to work on it.

What kind of wheels are those? I've been looking for something interesting for mine.

CIP1 had them, but they seem to be OoS these days.

I seem to attract them...

I can relate. Couple of years ago I gifted a large amount of stuff to a local guy who runs a yard for aircooled. Now I turn down "donations".
