Here is a NewYear update, time to take stock of what's been done and whats still to do!.
When I started out the kit was the MDA MkII rear clip option on the normal body set; later MDA produced a more correct MkII front clip that Mark at MDA exchanged for the MkI front clip I had. There are subtle differences in the profiles of the ajoining panels due to me using non matching moulds.
It has taxed my glassing skills somewhat however the front clip has the air ducts and MkII slide on mounting and is without the vent in the center. The front wheel arch profile is more humped more correct for a MkII, and the has the propper shape to the rad opening fully glassed into the mould.
I have made up a pair of eyebrow trims for the doors, they will have to come off for the SVA but they can be painted with the car as the stripes will cross over them. Still aiming for Shelby Guardsman blue with white stripes and roundells.
The 16" wheels I had have also been exchanged for 15" , the small spinner nuts also will be exchanged for the long ear type, MDA have kindly offered a setof hex nuts to use for the SVA test; I've chosen the Avon tyres, these are expected soon so I can put it on the ground at last.
The gaps are coming together and the doors close with a nice clunk. I still can't get over how any slight adjustment to any panel etc seems to change something else, the way seems to be a continual roundabut of adjust,fill trim that get progressively less, untill it breaks your will to carry on!
Here are some dust photos of where I am at.
