not too much to show as of yet. tried some different colors for the headers and valve covers.
and that hood is damn shiny for now... until i smear water on it when i apply decals :o
going to do this differently due to the exhaust issue i posted about in another section, going to attach the rear suspension and engine before anything else is done so i can size the exhaust to the body. shouldn't be too tough, i don't think, just some sizing and cutting of strip. fingers crossed.
got a little more done, everything but the body is painted (due to the skirt mods not being done on one side yet) and a few things need to be detail painted, like the roll bar padding.

as implied above, i did get the left side skirt mod done. it's a bunch of strip, cut and some sanded. the side that faces out is 3 pieces, and there is multiple pieces on the backside to brace it all, along with tabs to mount it. i tried to sand it some to blend the pieces together, but that was a pain due to the size and the fact that it's a little bit fragile.

i also have to figure out how to secure the boom tubes in place, they don't clear part of the rear suspension.
got the right side cutout done, not quite as pretty as the left side but whatever... tested out the exhaust fit.

interior was just painted, should have the body primed and painted in the next few days
Looking good, I'm guessing that is the Daytona car. That was Gann Racing, didn't they get absorbed up in that Earnhardt Ganassi deal? Really thought Mark ended up with a good team after that 500 finish.
