Bruce, that looks great! And the idea to use ILM techniques to detail this is perfect!

Thank you, Carlos and Lyle! Your support is always greatly appreciated. Last night I sanded and shaped the quarter panels to make them closer to the smooth seamless look of the prototype, and early this morning I received a great 3D design by Marius of correctly fluted header pipes! Now all I need is to take his design to a printer...

:hmm:

Means I stopped, started—which we all do—
Currently think the driver as molded is much too small. Will have to rebuild him a bit larger. Time to break out the putty and toothpicks....

We ALL do that. The "what it means" was for the Yowsa….But, you are right on the driver I think. Too small by about 1/4 a head.
