meanwhile I am filling fiberglass and making it all pretty to pull a permanent mold.
If you do some tufting, you may find the flow gives you suggestions for improving the flow around the wheels and fenders. Tufts can be placed in the space behind the wheels, (away from the body surface, on things like a tensioned thread from outer fender edge to door, or rigid little posts) to get a better feel for whats going on. The fender molds would be pretty easy to change, if required.

You're making great progress.
