    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.

    Thumbs up fenders,wheels,chassis and space for it

    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

    glued in place

    and sanded

    the rest of fenders done as well, looking good, need to shape a bit more when wheels will be in place



    next, will try to make wheels now, center pieces will go in sometime after


    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

    pay attention to wheel, looking good

    only 2 turned out well as other two has to be wider and a bit bigger for the back

    Thumbs up fenders,wheels,chassis and space for it

    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

    now, this is what I achieved

    wasn't happy with it, so destroyed it after 2 days work
    this is how first attempt ended

    chassis strength parts done, now need to free up some space for it


    once tunnel for chassis made under car body, proceeded further detailing chassis at he rear end
    made up middle part and other elements, added wheels to see how it looks together
