And dug through the junk boxes and found a few parts to use.
Boards to build on and a pressure regulator and a map sensor.

The big work such as the chassis is going slow. Just have not had the big time to spend on the big work.

I have about settled on where the body will sit and have started on the body mount perimeter.

Well I don't post much..... not a lot of reply/questions here.....so I don't post often.
But.
I purdy much lost all of December being sick with covid.
Then spent all of January getting caught up.
Now just plain busy.

I am trying to get back on the project.....just so much job to do.
That means I have not had big time to do the big parts.

I have gotten some poly seats and established position and roll bar height. Then started bending tube. I had a chassis kit from years gone by....but it was not for this car
I have been blocking up the body and setting weights on it for 2 months now. I have evened out some twist and miss-shape and have the body sitting better. That also means I had to un-do some of my made to fit parts.

Actually that is the original color still on it.
When cleaned and buffed it looks like this .

But no..,.
I have tons of fiberglass work to do.
Just in my pics you can see I cut the tops out of the front wheel arches.....so I hafta bulge them out to fit.
Then I cut the whole back end off. As I lengthened the chassis I gotta create from scratch much of the back end. But I do have the valve covers below deck height....with the whole injection sticking out.
So..,I have a lot of body work and paint in my future.

I imagine silver and red like the old race porsches.
