Thanks for the compliments guys.
A little bit more progress in the past week. The majority of the metalwork around the headlights is complete. They still need to finish weld the joints where the metal revisions were made. The old turn signals, which will be used as driving lights, were centered under the headlights. The width across the lower from fenders is substantially wider than original. It should be a much more aggressive look to the front end.

Here is a stock car for comparison.

We will now work on a flange to mount the driving lights in. We also will start working on the lower valance. It will be quite a bit lower and have provisions for oil coolers and brake cooling ducts.
I received the prototype rear valance from Royalworks Speed Shop. It is a beautiful piece of work and should be available for everyone to buy soon. John does great work! We will be modifying this to fit my car. We widened the back about 5" so minor changes need to be made. It gave me a huge head start though. Thanks John!

In a couple weeks the car should be heading over to get the roll cage installed. The car is really progressing nicely now.?

The rear valance from John Royal at Royalworks Speed Shop is looking good. A flange was fabricated to allow it to bolt on. We still have to make trunk drop down panels but it is getting closer. We plan on modifying the valance a little on the center section by indenting it a bit more to add dimension.
