Currently working on the rear hood.

Strut rods and heim ends holding up the wing.





And working on the butt end of it all. Wood bucks, spray foam, plaster of Paris.... and sculpt whatever works.

I did get a little more fiberglass done on the underside of hood.

But then the wife got the flu and I got it from her. We have been layed up for a week. Today is the first day back at it all. Not much energy left for the car though. Did look at the pieces parts after work, but that's all

I should be long done with this hood.

But have been sick with one thing or another ever since before Christmas.

If it ain't me then the wife is horribly sick.

Back at the hospital now with strep throat.

I have had maybe one good week this entire year.

But about the car. It has been driven (without the body on). All in the parking lot, I share a large L shaped drive/lot with the warehouse next door. A fair amount of room, can not get much speed, but it has done a bunch of donuts and skid stops.

No video though, usually by myself at the shop on off days.

When the guys show up to work on the shops dragster it is usually evening and I have stopped on my funny little car.

I was off work a week or two and then had the surgery monday. Slept a whole day away and went back to work on Wednesday.
Worked on the project car about an hour this morning (Saturday). So I am better, but doctor says he is fixing symptoms and don't really know what is going on.
