I’ll see what I can do! The only low shots I have now just show the sideskirts and not the entire car.

Looks great! The side skirts make a big difference.

Thanks Sandyman! I’m glad that you like the look from the back! I has hoping the back would look good so that my friends with Mustangs can enjoy it! Doh!  :FUNNY:

Sofa , very clean lines.  How about a picture from the side at ground level...or as close as you can get.
I just think it would be a great angle.

Is this what you were looking for? It’s the best “worm view” I can do until I get it outside.

I don’t know how I did that... and I don’t know how to fix it! So let’s just call it artsy!

Thanks to a post on lotusEuropa.com ( sorry I don’t know who to credit) I built the brackets for the engine cover lift supports. I read somewhere that if you copy from one person it’s plagerism, if you copy from everyone it’s research. I’m calling this one research, but my sources were limited. I made several small changes so I don’t feel too guilty. :) here are a couple of photos:

LOL 😂 , It looks like a definite 10% rule change there. Good work! It’s a mod that is on my list also. probably from the same sources . I agree, It’s hard to to nail down who to give credit to but my hat is tipped.
 The question is, What is next? You got me hooked.

That's an amazing build! Will it be at LOG39 or better LOG40?

My list of things to do is getting shorter. Not much left except to fine tune things that need improvement. The windows don’t move as well as I want them to move, I’m still having an oil pressure issue, and I still need to cut and buff the paint. 

I hope to post some video of the car running and moving.

I most likely won’t be able to make LOG 39, where is LOG 40?

Considering what you've built, your short list really is short.
I look forward to videos!

LOG40 will be announced at LOG39 in August. (I'm hoping to be at LOG40. )

Well, my short list just got longer! After exploring all my options, my low oil pressure issue is going to force me to pull the engine. Not what I wanted to be doing as the weather moves towards driving season, but it comes out relatively easily. Or at least I think it will, I haven’t done it with the body mounted to the frame.

Bummer! I suspect it's going to be more involved than you think when you get into it - at least that's what happens to me. Then you have to fix the problem!

Good luck and keep us posted!
