      Looking good Scott. I know that stage well. Blocking and obsessing over any slight wave or irregularity as the reflection moves down the side of the car.

      Looks great Scott! Liking that reflection across the door gaps and the clean finish down through the rocker. Gentle curve but not too much nor too flat. Your buddy knows what he's doing. The way the reflection terminates around the wheel opening edges is another critical one. These body's are not easy to get right and clean. I can fully appreciate all the hours of long boarding here.

  • Thanks Justin. Dave is taking his time and fussing on the details. We are Finding minor issues with the front nose I replaced in the front hood valley and lower front edge. Not as symmetrical as I thought in the metal work stage. He says it has been a challenge but feels he is winning. The rear sail panel leading up to the roof also fought him hard.
