With me not just having flat sheet metal ---the body is taking way longer than  compared to the old car.

Why not? Pontiacs have worked well in land speed racing.

Tortoise, it's really a big block chevy, and if you look real close you can see a duct comming from the firewall into the air cleaner that I'd guess hides a bonnet for the boost air from the intercooler and turbos.

Hi Rob

How is you new body coming along, looking forward to seeing it taking shape on the car.

Looking first class so far, nice tanks in front of the engine too.

Pretty soon it will wing city seeing the molds you have made.

Don

P.S. not happy in D.C. either

Don,
Body parts are coming along nicely.
Hopefully Eric will post a little montage on how he built the fuselage molds.
He is currently working on the tail cone mold. We just sent him the wing molds last week. So where are we with the body panels?
Fuselage = 100%.
Flaps = 100%
Wheel Fairings = 100%
Wings = 66%
Tail Cone = 50%
