Tonight's update.
I have been working to add more parts to the body.
Added were the rear lower panels, rear bumper assembly, the roll bar assembly and the front windshield.
Now that front windshield was a real pain. Ended up building it twice, it's not perfect.

This is how she stands tonight.





Thank you for watching.

Hello all.
Tonight's update, finished the outer body.
Rear view mirror, side mirrors were assembled and installed.



As were the tail lights and plates.



The tail gate trim piece above the rear plate was also added.



On a detail note. If you look at the mirrors, you will see an image as if this was on the road. A nice touch from the designer.
Looking at images of the real car, if one wanted to, there is a lot more detail one could easily add to this build.
I'll have to improve my CAD skills in the future to be able to design and add these type of details.

Thank you for viewing.

Hello All. Well it is that time. This project is complete.

Here are the final photos.























I hope you enjoyed this build.
If I build this again, there are definitely things I will do differently. It was fun.
