Front suspension almost done... another note the large round Fog lights, I had to make those, hey were out of a Lancia straos kit and then modified.. the headlamps have been a major struggle with the all chrome pieces being replaced with a scratchbuilt set inc. lens' from a 62 Corvette?? Pics to come... Chris

the Headlamps were made by finding a couple of chrome rounds , then using a ball grinder cupped out to give depth and then the 62 Corvette headlamp lens applied. I like the pattern on them.. next is the amazing PORSCHE chrome scale emblem, these are easy to apply and look ..well you judge!!Chris Ps. as always more to come!!!

Art, the rear deck is from the built up you sent me, after I screwed up the paint on the original! Thanks for the save!! The engine cover had a poorly cast vent section that I corrected with around 50 cuts with a P/E saw to open it up!! pics soon.. Chris
