Better pic

Yep, that will work. I can get a pattern from this side to save a lot of time trimming the other side. It took a couple of hours to get this close but I am happy with the looks.

Hey Mark, I cut out the space between the engine grill cover and the targa bar. I think I have a pic.

Let's see if this works. I have a new laptop and we are fighting about posting a pic. I have to move the breather to whats left of the rear trunk. I think it is only a little plumbing.
Looking at that pic tells me that I need to make up some kind of fairing for the targa bar upright.

Mark @playswithcars , didn't you attend the WCC in Portland in '06?

Right side.

Attached Image

In 2 days I got both scoops on the car and I am happy with the way they look. I would have still been sanding and glassing the plug for the left side. It would take me the till the end of summer to do this in fiberglass.
RESPECT to all those who build plugs, molds and make parts in fiberglass...

Kool huh...

The scoops have a flange that will take the fasteners to the targa bar. The right scoops flange is setting less than an eighth from where it will be fastened.

Excuse me but I find the work that I am doing aesthetically pleasing. I am making no effort to make the car Bad Ass, so it appears to me that I must have that in me. So now that I am here I guess I'm just letting it all out. Just a personal opinion but I find the car appealing.

Better but I still don't like the angle of the picture.

Yesterday I made up a small fairing that ties the targa fairing to the intake scoop.

Attached Image

I'm thinking a flat head screw from the top of the little fairing through a post and the scoop to the targa bar one counter sunk screw holding everything at the top. The bottom will have 3 fasteners from the flange on the bottom of the scoop to the targa bar.

Looks so much better with something covering the end of the targa bar fairing.

Just curious if you're gonna roll the front edges of the scoops in - like a jet engine nacelle?

Thought about it for about 2 seconds. Too much difficulty. By this time next year I should have a bead roller but by then I should be able to make them in fiberglass and I can put the lip in the mold. I really do like the way the car looks with all the aluminum natural, there's a lot of hand crafted stuff in the car.

Doing some more fitting of the end cap of the targa bar fairing. It's looking really nice and cleans up the area where the targa bar fairing joined Cold Air Intake scoop. This is the right side.

Left side ready for fitting.

If they look a little hammered it's because they are. I used a small ball peen hammer beating the aluminum into submission over a large rubber mallet mounted in my vice.

Looking nice. What did you use to shape those end pieces?

I don't know what alloy that aluminum is but it is soft enough to be playable and still hold a shape.
I used the 3 hammers in this picture. The body of the end cap was shaped with the larger ball peen hammer on the outside radius of the mallet and the edge was formed on the edge of the face of the mallet.
Thanks for asking Scott, that was a bitch... But it looks better in person than in the pics.

The small hammer worked best for the edges.

I spent the day mounting the rear wing to the rain gutter just above the rear tire.

The bracket.

With the wing in the picture.

I put some backing on the inside of the top of the fender just in case.
