G'day everyone
Below is the latest T64 36hp Challenge racer update from Dave at Copacetic. Enjoy.........

Happy New Year!
It has been a long time since the last photos in July, but the work continues.
The doors and lids have been been assembled. The front lid and doors are hinged and latched.
The rear lid needs more attention to the fit, and it will be pinned and latched rather than hinged.
The difficult engineering and design issues have been solved, though I am certain that there will be refinements before the project is complete.
Yes, there is still a lot of work left, but I can see the completed body from here.
I’m still working on the taillight configuration, but I think I’ll stick with “snowflakes.” Fortunately, the taillights will be pretty simple to change around. It looks like each of the original T64's had three distinct and different configurations, so I figure a fourth would have also.
The rear 3/4 view shows the "snowflake" 55 to 57 taillight assemblies. I will describe them as "non T64" style to distinguish the clear definition between the Copacetic T64 vehicle(s) and the KDF originals.
I’ll let the engine and chassis guys update you on their progress.
