Alright, time for the update!

First off, the next gen lower grille block. Wax paper down, with little stickies to hold it in place, followed by fiberglass, dry down, then resin/hardener painted over it. It is pretty stuck to the wax paper, but that doesn't matter. Great foamed in, two thinner layers, and now it just needs to be designed to look good (or better, I should say).

As usual, looks don't matter for the original design. Also, I am low on PC, so I have to stretch it out to make it work. Nothing is tight yet, because the other ends still need to be attached. The frame is nailed, then zip tied, then FG around the major joints.

The car is having issues without the battery pack working, but hopefully Honda will have it in within the coming weeks.
