Sorry guys, no updates yet. I've been very busy with work and prepping our race car for the start of the season. First race is next weekend.
My bodyguy did a lot of insurance work last week so no progress with my car. This is ok as we have agreed that urgent insurance work is higher priority. After all, that is what keeps his business running and enables him to take on projects like mine on the side.
This coming week will not be so busy for him, so we should see some good progress at the end of the week. I will keep you guys in the loop.

Ok, things have moved forward again. My friend was able to clear up his shop and gave some time to my project. Sheet metal work on the passengers side is done and started on the drivers side. All metal work should be done by tomorrow and then we can start fitting the bumpers, flares and rockers.

We will start with the rockers as the flares will need to line up with them.

So far we have only 25 hours into the build, believe it or not! (not counting my hours, just the bodyshops billable ones)

Some photos:







I fit both muffler bypass valves and now the cans are at the exhaust shop getting the bypass pipes welded on. There is really not much space for the valve motors but they do fit!
