Super nice job an the bodywork and paint - even more impressive that it's a garage job. Whoever helped out with the hood ducts is a craftsman too - not easy to weld aluminium and fab those radiused edges. Cool.

I'm about to fit CG flares - just so I can get a big tyre under there for track. No way I'll get them looking as good as yours!

ps. Some pics of your car at normal height would be nice too..

While I will never understand putting super wide flares on to then still put wheels on that require super stretched tires, slammed suspension (air suspension) and crazy camber I can still respect the work put in. The paint is amazing and your hood cuts are really cool. Do you have better pictures of the finished cuts? I think some different side diffusers could be good since the current ones look a little warped. Maybe the RX7 style ones since they kick out towards the back tire?

I currently having a company in California making new Carbon fiber side diffusers for the circuit garage kit specifically. Will flow better with the CF lip and diffuser and won't warp. Should be done in a week or two! Cars parked for the winter anyways.

Same... hate that, relocating the radiator when I do the tuck and shave and plan on using a nicer radiator so it will look a lot better. I think ducting looks cheap

Car looks fantastic, interested to find out how you filled in the sides of your hood vents, lot of tacking and moving?

Currently working on the full tuck and shave, making more and more progress everyday. Learning as I go, firewall will be getting done this week as well as the support bar. Have lots of parts stacking up! Can’t wait for summer.

I love this build, it reminds me of when I was doing cars in the 90s when we still had big venues for import shows and custom work like this was very popular.
