Falcata Posted January 24, 2021 Author Posted January 24, 2021 Hi and thanks again for the positive feedback More work on the bottom half of the hood , got one unit of glass on it and a skim of Rage Gold filler . Still more to add the this part , the sides where it meets the fenders and the top at the windscreen , I would like ti to hide the wipers . 4 Quote
Falcata Posted January 24, 2021 Author Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) Sorry these are now out of order , I couldn't find these , I have a computer in the office at home and one at the shop and three cameras and a phone , busy life its hard to find time to sort them out into folders . I have with out a doubt spent 2 months all together measuring and remeasuring this car its has so many compound curves . So I rack my brain trying to figure ways to keep this thing on track , every change to the body complicates that . Edited January 24, 2021 by Falcata 3 1 Quote
Falcata Posted January 28, 2021 Author Posted January 28, 2021 Ok got some stuff done on the car , crazy week , my wife is having a knee replacement tomorrow , so been super busy getting thing ready for her recovery . So I think I mentioned the way I will be attaching the rear clamshell . Originally I was going to use the original hatch hinges , but thought that would be too difficult to access . Now I am going to use the rear strut mounting holes , and would like to disguise them by creating a foe vent . So next will be to fill these with foam and contour to the yellow tape 7 Quote
Falcata Posted February 5, 2021 Author Posted February 5, 2021 Seems like everyone lost interest ............ Well been busy looking after my wife , probably a couple more days before I get to my other shop , I have been doing some stuff for the build at my home shop on the milling machine making a mold out of aluminum for the front turn signals . Here is the last pic's of the vent foamed and roughed in 3 Quote

Getting started I built a dust collection system that spins 360 degrees because as we all know fiberglass dust is no fun , next was to build some wooden wheels to simulate the new wide ones to help with clearances and fender lips . the rear hatch and window is deleted and replaced with a smaller trunk lid . Wow, only just read this thread, great looking build, can't wait until I get through to the end. Quote
Sim Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 All caught up, I ran out of reactions for today Amazing piece of work, as others have said, can't wait to see more 1 Quote
Falcata Posted February 15, 2021 Author Posted February 15, 2021 Thanks Sim for the kind words Sounds like you have some nice toys !! We had another winter friggin storm here ,Thursday wind and power outages and then over a foot of snow at the shop , started on Friday afternoon , the road in is .5 of a kilometre long , so there is no way to shovel it , also narrow with lots of bush so no place for the snow to be plowed , if you could find someone to do it !! here are the last pics I took . 8 Quote
Falcata Posted March 6, 2021 Author Posted March 6, 2021 Hi guys & gals Been a while , must be getting old almost forgot how to post stuff on here lol . I have missed some time from the car ( obliviously ) you know the usual stuff in the forest on an Island , power outages from wind storms and freak snow storms , life etc . So I have been plugging away at the rear deck lid fake vents and prepping the roof scoop mounting . the roof will have a small foam frame that will be part of the roof to position and fasten the scoop . I will try to post more this weekend Cheers 6 Quote
ShortPaul Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 Glad you're ok, its good to see more pics of outstanding work, i have missed your updates Quote
Falcata Posted March 7, 2021 Author Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Hi I finally got my turn signals , they are really cool , they have low beam ( DLR ) day time lights , high beam DLR and Amber sequential signals , I ordered a few sets and the shipping company lost them !!!! Had to order again ....... So I will be working on there spot in the front Dam , this should be a right pain to make also ... but worth the effort . They are aftermarket up grade for the new Honda Civic Type R So they go in and you only see the raised part of the light . Edited March 7, 2021 by Falcata 5 Quote
Falcata Posted March 28, 2021 Author Posted March 28, 2021 Hi I am back with an update , I have been working on a few things . The roof scoop frame that will be the mounting point and will be part of the roof . This was a tricky piece to make ......like everything else was easy lol . The part that covers the top of the windscreen will be made with the whole roof and cut off after , so the roof scoop frame will need to be cut also , and the nose of the frame will be attached to the part that goes over the glass , for easy removal for windscreen replacement . 5 Quote
