then i got really bored with the 99 spec bumper.. trying to make some canards to make it a little more aggressive. didnt come out how i planned... well i actually didnt plan it. i was winging it as i went. I dont think the 99 spec lip will go with they style canard. i might just make a completely new lip that will attach to a "cut" 99 spec bumper -- expanding the stock openings

Blah.
Thank you mother nature. Hurricane then storm back to back. you blow.
finally got around to adding a flange to the opening side. this gives it more dimension and adds rigidity. also used a round over bit to give it a nice radius. no harsh 90* angles here!

Sand, fill, repeat........ x3?
alllll most donee. hopefully this will be the last body filler layer and i can just get away with primer for the rest *fingers crossed*
hand milled a transmission spacer.. this is 3/4" thick and allows me to add more tranny fluid. approx. 0.6QT or 19oz. I'm gonna attempt to make a 1" version. Now to source some hardware!
Andddd Mocking up some flat door cards. final version will be carbon fiber

hahah thanks. get your *** back in the garage and finish!! I hope were posting from your phone while you were taking a "quick breather"!
Not much update today.. I spent most my day picking up this puppy =) a Nice old Cincinnati Vertical Mill =)
So with that taking up majority of my day, I started late and only worked an hour or so... so by the time finished the second prototype of the door panel it was too dark to take a picture...
more updates tomorrow!
well maybe.

PS I admit, at first when i saw door panels like these I was like how hard could it be, its a flat panel........... hahah I'm learning what a PITA it actually is.. so many minor tweaks to get it exactly how I want it.... but im almost there! =)
