Ooh, I like where this is going. That design looks...very familiar.

I think the front wheel base is not the same. I used a stock front end wheel base and as far back as I'm allowed to go in the rear.
Fenders shape a bit different. But kind of close to lightnboys.

Update, pictures, ect.

I decided to try monokote over the fenders, its okay, wrinkles. and I usually clear coat after that. To cold and im not doing it in the house. lol

I may peel off the monokote and paint it, not sure yet. Or may just live with the wrinkles.


Added rear weight, but not all the weight yet.





















As I mentioned, fenders+ mon0kote= wrinkles for me.

I may just take it all off and paint the fenders.

Sporty,
Very cool name you have picked out for this car!

I know if I were useing the monokote over the fenders:
Like you are that I would have a lot more wrinkles in the monokote.

Fascinating to see someone else's build approach to the design. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, I did not have enough pictures of yours from different angles. So this is what I ended up with. Not as nice as yours, But I hope you still feel honored. I would attempt to try and get close to your work.

I'll likely do another one, not for sure when. have 3 more cars, shapes, still on my list before I will consider anymore. ive also built allot of cars in the past month, more then I thought I would ever even build again ever. lol.

Hmm, let me see, one of the most influential PWD builders in the nation building something based on one of my car designs? Yeah ... I'm a little bit honored.
