Nice looking job. You might want to test the tow hook before your first race. I saw a new 911 have theirs break off when the wrecker yanked that tow strap on the way back to the pits and it sure embarised the driver!

good point John

I've been kinda worried about all of the horror stories I hear where cars are nearly lifted by their tow hooks and over zealous tow truck drivers...

So I kinda want the hook to break before the body gets bent out of shape back there.

last shot of the front bumpers.
I couldn't mount them yet, due to the paint not being fully cured:

last of my pictures for now.
One last thing we got done was to mount the rear trunk lid. I've alluded to this lid before, and I'm pretty happy with the way it came out. Its a stock lid but with balsa wood reinforcement for a total loss of 11lbs. We bonded aluminum stops onto the lid and then cut balsa wood strips that are just long enough to have to bow (giving the lid the correct shape)

Here is what I mean:

Like I said, I'm pretty proud of it and it is still a metal hood as per the rules. Here it is mounted on the car:

Spent Saturday morning re-painting the black half of the front bumper. I was trying to buff out an flaw in the paint and buffed through... So out came the equiptment and masking tape for a re-shoot.

Twas worth it though, I'm pleased with the finished result.

Front hood, head light doors, and turn signal covers mounting is still not finalized, but I needed to submit log book photos so here they set:

Worked on the doors. Still haven't finished the aluminum interior door panels yet. Here is a shot of the forward door hinges, with a few extra holes in them:
