For those of you who have installed vacuum formed windscreens know what an actual pain it is to install.
I have about 2 hours getting this one done, it came out well and I’m happy, I think it’s the .5 mm rivets that hold it in that was the most nerve racking.
I’m getting closer to the finish line 😁

I’ve only done a few vacuform windshields and they stress me out every time. Fantastic work here. This thing is a work of art.

All those closeup pictures just once again proved that you pushed the reality bar that much higher.
Even the pic of the side mirrors look like the super polished chrome ones on a display car. I'm sorry to see that they moved on from the traditional Talbots to this more aerodynamic style mirror. Back in the day my '67 MGB had Talbots over the front axles, but my brother's TR 250 had ones that looked exactly like the ones on the M19A. And IMHO there's just nothing quite like a Talbot mirror. Ok so I'm old and live basically in the past, but there's just a little touch of elegance to a Talbot then those 1 piece mirrors don't have.

Well the rear wing is on and those little support struts where finicky. Also as you can see wheels are completed.
Almost done with this

The rear wing sure does look level in those pictures, so getting those wing side supports dead level were well worth the effort. I also took a good look at that twin radiators that you painted the cores dark Gray for some much needed artistic contrast, and you were certainly right. Does make quite a difference down there.

Welp, it’s finished. The air box seemed to give me the biggest headache, firs it was filling in the seam , then it was massaging it to get it to sit flush.
I have a bunch of glamour shots coming soon, stay tuned .
Thanks for looking
