No dialog this time around, just pictures of the body as the work begins on the skin of our car. Like everything else on this ride the body is also being subjected to significant surgery...Starting with the addition of FIA rear fender flares. Normally they are added over the top of the existing glass, our painter faired them in and cut the double thickness inside the fender well. Will you ever see it? Nope. It's cool to know it's there...

More FIA treatment...Fillets in the hood scoop.

Making the cockpit just a little closer to the original cars, a return was added just below the door overlap at the top of the cowl...

One of the subtleties that I wanted to change about the cockpit was the roll of the edge of the glass. Here's the progress so far on the cowl and the doors...
