Awesome car mike,
I hope i can get mine to look that clean one day.

are you also building a dallara? its taken one day a month for one year to get this far.

My post is about half way down of mine it has just started we started fitting the kit last weekend so i have a long way to go from here but thats ok it will be worth it.

are you cutting the fenders off or are you attaching them to the fender?

if you need any tips please let me know i have done two of these. one when i was sixteen and this one now that i am 35

Hey mike, we are cutting the fenders off it should be cool but thanks for the offer the guy fitting it has built several for himself he also builds the kits so he has the experience.

Best thing is i am not paying a thing!!
The body kit and fitting is free he is fitting the kit for me as payment for my x race car that my father and i gave him.

man thats great i had to learn as i went

I would love some more pic's of your car like detail ones in the guards and the front section where it joins to the guards and the front nose cone. What do you have planned grile wise up the front and in the side pods, these are all things i am trying to work out at the moment.

Thanks mike

I plan to use a 74 grill on the front.

What have you done under the guards did you paint underneath before you put the guards one. Thats impressive that you have modified the front to allow for a 74 grill nice work.

what are under guards

I actually mean under the guards lol like literally under the fiberglass is there clean paint or rough metal.

i attached my flares to metal. I sanded the areas where its attached all the way to metal. i cut some of the fenders out so that the wheels will turn good because they are so wide. my x is a 87 and i bought a 74 grill well acutally two of them so that i could make the front around the grill. see early pic below

I have big openings for fog lights. I want to install something that looks like the 288gto. I have no idea where to find such an animal... Any thoughts??? JJ

Nice car jj its in a similar state to mike's, i wish mine was that far along i wouldn't have said they were for fog lights however if that is what you like then go for it. I am just going to be making up aluminum surrounds and using a silver finished wire mesh to finish of these holes.

hey jj I will keep a eye out for some fog lights like that they seem out dated but i am sure i will come across some sooner or later.

I think it looks cool some round lights maybe even some CiBie lights and mount them to a flat plate.. JJ
