Progress has been slow, much slower than expected.

Got back on the wagon a couple weeks ago. Got the fender bucks pretty much dialed in. They all need a little more tweaking before the actual molds and final pieces will be made.





Also, my wing came in. Made some upright for the mock up and threw it on there. It looks a little exaggerated in the pics, but it will sit about 3" lower than how it does currently. It probably looks a little extreme for most, but it IS functional, and I like it! ;-)

This is too much for words.

Every time you update this thread I light up a little inside.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm hoping updates will be more regular for the next several months.
I've set a soft deadline of September of next year. There's a huge Triumph car show in Southern California that I'm aiming to drive this to. There's a lot of work left to do, but I think it's a realistic goal.

Months of shaping finally gave us the profile we were looking for. We hired another body guy to get the fenders dialed in. What once started out as expanding foam poured into cardboard shaped has become what you see here now. They are almost, if not exactly perfect, mirrors of eachother from side to side.

Now we’re ready to make molds and actual parts!

This is so epic

Thanks.

I was really hoping for a more exciting update after all this time, but it's just the way things are going.

Once the molds are finished and the body is off, then things should be moving along a little quicker...at least visually anyway.

I'm really looking forward to seeing it back on the ground!

Sub'd. Stumbled upon this incredible build and must see more! Really awesome work. Looking forward to more updates.
