hey ken what is going on, yea you and your right hand drive snake read something on it earlier and you also live like far away indo or some place like that what a trip i say. any way body works done ready to prime but waiting on my gun washer ordered through tool paradise(spray gun world) section.
neat stuff, i will paint this snake myself even if i end up the same color as the car ;D.
i cant believe the prices of body work prep and paint on a car like this.

hi mike, yes i have a few other pics but they shorted me a few things and wanted to finish those tasks
as for the pic shots will be sharing same pictures when those tasks are done.

i will post the three colors my son and i like. but won't paint until much later on.
i here they have a carpet upgrade now.

anyways thankyou guys for your comments and i will be getting on to see what your sites are doing.

CS,  as usual I can't stop flapping my jaw about the attributes of the Hurricane and the quality work being done by builders.   :P

Your fire wall with the dowled effect looks so cool, its the best I've seen so far and I wish mine was like that.   ;D  I tried to dowl mine but couldn't get it right so I just polished  it a bit.
Also the attention to detail, coating the underside of the body properly is very very cool, it will give the car that extra quality.

Anyway, looking forward to more pics demonstrating your great ideas and quality work.

Best regards, Bill

Thanks MFE III, my first windshield wiper assembly :)

gurgling hopefully soon.

i know it's there.

they call it"engine turn" i call " it clock works " it takes along time to get it that way.

anyway still have to wait on our power-plant.
so much more reading and pre-fab i just want to turn the key. and yes more-mo.
time is easier.

DUDE!!!!!! That is the sickest Cobra engine bay out there. Keep up the good work and I wish I could see you're face when your engine fires up. Have fun on the first ride. Take it easy for at least 10 feet then nail it and hold on.

FRP( pebble style fiberglass reinforced paneling).
Two pieces each (sandwiched) Sika Flex (butyl type adhisive) were formed then Cool-It brand Super Sonic and Thermo Guard FR on both outer sides.
Note; heat gun helps alot.
ps each piece weighs about 8 pounds.

Dear Eric, the product is actually fiberglass and darn near bullet proof.
i know most guys won't have tunes in their rides and that is fine, but it is fun to install these things.
anyway i will post more pics later.
thank you for the heads up and all but you will see the details in later photos.

well the second time is the charm, i dedicate the work on this dash to Fuzzy. the first skin did not turn out as nice and i found and liked this material much better.
it will be in other areas as well. spray adhesive used on the first dash was just not bonding well, contact cement was 100% better.
on to some other parts now. may the Force stick with you ;D

p.s. remember when you click pics the second click makes the pic larger.

i purchased the fabric from Joann's fabrics and crafts, i believe it's what VW used, any way they had ostrich, snake, alligator and what came with our kit but this looked more motoring to me.
spray adhesive was not adhering like contact cement so i had to re-do. and thankyou for your positive input.
