This is going very quick. Most of it is all filled in and shaped and symmetrical. Just need to decide on the rear venting and adding a little depth to the rear panel.

Thanks Rod! Larry- At $32 per 2" 4x8 panel, I am only eating about one panel per change. So ya, you are about right. Lol. I am calling this one my SLC/Zonda/Countach meld. And it is working like a mofo! The final version of this will be worthy to match with the front.

I will be dammed, I might just pull this off yet. I had one to many issues with the last design, main one was complexity. This was much simper to make one full rear template, and was able to use existing body lines to guide it. So, I am only one day into this so far, and 50% of it is already...

I honestly have never heard of such a thing. No way to prepare for or really anticipate. Luckily it didn't get too out of hand. I suppose I have already been taking steps to make this not happen. It's called "Oregon".

I have purchased one c5 rear hub. It has the same 3 bolt pattern and internal reluctor wheel/pick up. Fran mentioned it does not fit, but, I have yet to try it to see why it won't, and if it is easy to modify to use them. To my knowledge, nearly every suspension piece is interchangeable from c4...

I do know it fits on mine. I already have one on, and wheel on. Will try to get a pic tomorrow on car. C4 and C5 share almost all suspension components. So in the pic above, left is the hub that came with mine, which is C4. I also bought C5 hubs for the rear. Fran says the rears do not fit...

Not sure if you already wewnt through this option, but the C5 hub already has a counter in it. I already bought a set and will be using my front signal from that.

Probably better to just keep handing them to me. Haha

Havn't done anything yet. I have been busy working on the SL65 and my TTCayenne took a little crap too, so no time. Back on it in a day or two. I guarrantee you will have not seen anything like what I am planning!

Re: Rear louvers Well, the back end that is pictured above, is no longer. Lol. Came up with a plan that should fit the car better, and get me back into a single wing, not the double. It just looked too cluttered once the upper wing got on. Found a place for the third brake light. Will post...

That, Randy, is part of my flaw. As much stress and brain power these builds can eat up, I keep doing it to myself car after car, with yet another car stacked up behind the SLC to build already, even more labor and design intensive. Instead of day dreaming about how it will drive when finished...

I think alot that could be added to the "kit car" mystique, is the sales of half finished cars, which look horrible as a stack of parts. If you go to some of the other kit car type forums, you see work being done, and design things that are far worse than the original Fiero that they started...

Hey Keith. Ya, I would love to have my own cnc mill or other machines, but, garage is already filled with this car project and all of the current tools, so out of the cards until I build a large shop, which I am currently saving for. But ya, there is something about being done and knowing the...

Aluminum cuts very easily with carbide tipped blades. So, here is the tools used- Chop saw with carbide tipped finish type blade (more teeth) 1/2" drill , you will fry a 3/8" drill with the hole saws. Hole saw set in 1/8" increments Drill bit set Carbide cutters for die grinder, or high...

Finally came to the final decision about how the wing and diffuser will mount. This will also dictate how the rear clam hinges. Which, it won't. The rear of the car will be bolted on. Havnt decided 100% where my cut lines will be for the engine cover, but only about 50% of the rear will hinge...

Was having a real tough time trying to get the previous design tail light openings perfectly symmetrical, so decided to change them to an easier shape. Looks a little less space ship too. Made the side splitters and front splitter extension (not in pic). Used 5mm underlayment plywood, with a...

Just anticipating it may need something to fill that corner in. Will see.

Something will go there. Just not sure if I want it recessed, or flush out with the sides. It will be the last part of the rear though. Still deciding wing stand offs, which may go through that back area, and probably going to widen the diffuser abit with add on sections behind the tires.

Good job! Sounds great.

So, Autometer finally released it now? Looks like price dropped $1000 also. Can't wait to see how it works out.
