Well my body prep is moving along I think I'll be ready for sealer primer after this weekend. I'll post some pics after I figure out how to reduce the file sizes.

Take your time and remember to finish the jambs and the under side of the hood, that is what makes a car look finished. Looks like you may have found a second career.

Alan I am taking my time, like I said this is my therapy. I worked nearly all day on the front of the car. I need to work on the seams a bit more as they were the first thing I tackled. I have since developed a more critical eye and better feel. I am impressed with the body, very few spots that need to be filled.

What is the best way to replicate the FIA hood scoop. I have been looking at pictures and think I want to do it. Can you just mold it out of milled glass and resin? I worry about it cracking later. You should make a little piece like the trunk dimples, I'll buy the first pair.

I have some pictures that I will post later, my arms are so tired I can barely type. That long body file will whip your butt after 5 or 6 hours.

Not without some professional help. I have a few buddies that paint, one of them for about 30 years. I may get the guy that does it for a living do it, hate to screw it up.
