Thank you so much, wftb, DotTC and Nels88 ! I can't believe the front end is happening after only 10 times trying

Today I had time making more DUST sanding the high and lows, finding potholes and crevices that's one big front end.



Reprimed and resand for imperfections



Licence plate hides away under body wing







Still have to fabricate scoop to side fenders as shown in red, it's easier for me to do this separately rather than one piece foam shaping

Little update: started side scoop on fender, early spring made some gel coat panels with proper curve to fit door.

I think a sunburst orange would be a killer color on this car.. A dark color would look wonderful, like a black or dark blue but I think an orange would be epic.

Today fibreglass backside of scoops to fenders and waiting to cure with heat lamps...





Almost sanded all primer away, lots of imperfection you see when in primer



Had to unbolt rocker panels, doing a bit of tweaking and finishing the back sides

Thank you so much InTheLead, today we got our first snow fall, but I still made progress with her
Welded front brackets to bolt on rocker panels (back brackets on long time ago)

Thanks for asking mr_corean , I copied the Lambo Veneno hood, so the cowl will be the same, but only have two ribs instead of three, the centre is the wiper on RBS2

Okay a much better answer...

In the past tried glazing and icing, but they all seam to shrink on me and hard to sand, so now I'm using lightweight filler (Feather-Rite) and easy to sand

Hey Carlo

Are you planning on adding close out panels on the front fender to lower wing sections as below?
Or have I missed that bit of the puzzle ;-))

Great work - getting closer - and its great to see some of those hard lines popping and coming together now.

Every time I get down on my project, and having to patiently wait for my wrist to heal to even think of touching it, this thread lifts my spirits. I am absolutely in love with this car. If I had half the ability to do something like thing I'd be so happy.

...Or maybe flip them up to form a wing like on the Lambo above!

You'll have to come up with a better cover story, since he has an attached garage with access from the house

How about his garage is not long enough to comfortably work around the car with the garage door closed. I don't think he wants an avalanche of snow landing on his car when he opens the door.

That's a winner! Judging by the pics, you guys have a few weeks of winter left! (It reached 80 degrees here in Virginia today)

Jim


We just started a warm trend, so the snow is melting off and we are expecting 2 - 3 inches of rainfall over the next 24hrs. Highs have been in the mid 40's and lows in the mid-lower 30's. So its not that cold, but with the dampness and any slight breeze it makes it really uncomfortable to work in. So for the most part, any "Hobby or FUN" projects get side lined until the weather is more enjoyable to work in. We had a few days where it hit 50F and people were outside playing in T-Shirts or just wind breakers, even I got a chance to go outside and work on my Fiero in the temporary garage.

Thanks, it's been a long time for me too, my old body can't work in the cold anymore.

I had to update RBS2 sketch, as always to many changes...



Today I installed the C7 headlights and C7 side markers...

Thanks TXOPIE, the side mirrors will be future looking angled wedged shaped.

always sanding...



Removed headlight, tweaking fender edge, the line was a bit off and that's the first thing you see



the headlight weight is 6.8 lb each, make the overall clip hood heavy







Installed sail panels and scoops...
