Great work Silverlux. Coming along just great much faster build than my rocker.
Hi Dalboy, thanks for comment. I actually started this build in start of April this year. Been on and off this build few times.
I'd say in total I have spent about 150h so far on this build. Detailed dashboard on its own took about 20h to get that far.
As I don't have much experience [now I have some LOL ] I learn along the way and that takes time.
this has been one of the best projects I have looked at.

You're keeping busy - don't you sleep? :D
Looks good. :2tsup:
Been watching this and must say I am absolutely impressed!!!:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:
Decided to do some work on fenders to give more look to the car
so shape cut out of pine wood as it is soft, flexible and perfect for the job
http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/17/82/32/09/27042010.jpg
glued in place
http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/17/82/32/09/27042011.jpg
and sanded
http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/17/82/32/09/27042012.jpg
the rest of fenders done as well, looking good, need to shape a bit more when wheels will be in place

http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/17/82/32/09/27042014.jpg

as I don't have lathe wood turning thing improvising with my DREMEL tool, carving is even done without support stand, everything done by free hand in air with very tiny carving tool
http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/17/82/32/09/28042012.jpg
pay attention to wheel, looking good
http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/17/82/32/09/28042013.jpg
only 2 turned out well as other two has to be wider and a bit bigger for the back
http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/17/82/32/09/28042014.jpg
so, tried to come up with chassis that would be similar to real car. It would be easier to make normal one as for all cars, but felt right to make
one as close as possible to real one....this was my first try
rough plan drawn up
http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/17/82/32/09/28042015.jpg
now, this is what I achieved
http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/17/82/32/09/30042011.jpg
wasn't happy with it, so destroyed it after 2 days work
this is how first attempt ended
http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/17/82/32/09/08052010.jpg
so second attempt, printed out best available real chassis 3d guide
http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/17/82/32/09/10052010.jpg
drawn up to match woodie dmc scale and cut out
http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/17/82/32/09/08052011.jpg
http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/17/82/32/09/08052012.jpg

http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/17/82/32/09/09052010.jpg
rear part of chassis coming together
http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/17/82/32/09/09052011.jpg
chassis strength parts done, now need to free up some space for it
http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/17/82/32/09/10052011.jpg
http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/17/82/32/09/10052012.jpg
once tunnel for chassis made under car body, proceeded further detailing chassis at he rear end
