Hi AeroHead,

Actually, the only reason I went ahead and measured the angles of the rear end of car, was to allow fabrication of the extension to proceed before the warm weather arrives.

It was one way that would allow foam blocks to start being glued together at the proper angles to create the overall shape.

Ideally, I always like to have the full scale model available BEFORE any gluing and shaping starts, but the thought of saving several months in the process is quite appealing.

Also, when construction on the car starts, that pretty much means that the motorcycle is used to get to work, rain or shine.

Jim.
