LOOKS LIKE A RACE CAR



I decided to take a break and do some body work as a diversion.  I have already decided the tail and maybe the side pods will need to be repainted, so I attacked the tail first.  Did a little fiberglass work and then broke out the spray gun to do some primer.  Looks like it is ready for paint but needs a lot of Bondo to make it presentable.  The big hole was where there was a FF2000 scoop that I think I will keep, But will probably bolt on rather than rivet on.  While I was at it, I needed to make new brackets where the center section located on body studs.  I also strengthened the center section where some cracks were starting to appear.  A pleasant surprise was that the tail worked with my old support rather than having to by or make one. Trying to decide it I am going with the old ducts to use the newer Citation scoops.  Still weeks away from having the car on the track - What I thought was a conversion is like building a kit from scratch - but it is getting there.
