    I will keep everyone posted when I get the spoiler complete and get pricing on having sets made. I am pleased that some of you like what I have done.

    That rear spoiler has me flashing back to some early-70's Funny Cars.

    Nice job!

    I'm Looking forward to seeing the finished spoiler. I might be intersted in one.
    The only image I saw was during constrution. I'm hope the gaps between the three rear spoiler sections will be clean and tight.

    I have been so busy with some other things that I have not had much of a focus factor with my project. Little things here and there, but nothing major. Today though I was able to drill the holes in my gauge panel that I made and fit the gauges and the indicator panel that I had made. This the first trial fit of everything and I like it!!! I have a couple things to touch up, then I can primes all the dash parts one last time and then paint. It will be nice to have that part of the project done and assembled ready for final installation.

    I have a few other fun little touches that I have done or am planning on doing, but I am going to hold off on those pictures until I am further along with the project.I

    Here are some pictures......

    Well done, you did a great job! Dave's right, that style looks right at home there.

    Glenn,

    Excellent work! :thumbs2: How did you make the panel? Did you have a template or mold to go from or is it scratch built? What material?

    I did take liberty and copy the fiberglass one that Don Kuss made. When I heard he passed away I went forward and made my own. I don't know much about fiberglass so this is all steel. Hand made piece by piece. I think I have around twenty five hours into this panel all by itself. Plenty of trial and error. I think in the end it looks good. I can't wait to finish it and get it painted.

    Rendering

    I have been waiting for this to get finished up. I had a guy do a rendering for me of the Mav project. These can help immensely with being able to visualize the plan. [​IMG]
