A rear quarter is "Done"...
Todays progress has brought the left rear quarter of X-Car, version... "Old Style Beetle reversed on the chassis, and streamlined", to a place where I'd like to hear comments on the streamlining at the rear. It's hard to see all of the shape due to the lighting. There will be a cover over the wheel at least 1/2 to 2/3.
I have found a couple of running Beetles locally, which would make a good starter car for the build, but they are actually in such nice shape, I'd hate to cut um up! Got mold making materials ordered to make copies of the 1/6 scale new Beetle.
I went through the Illuminati Motors Works build album today, studying their construction methods. Interesting build, and it gave me some good ideas for body forming, but putting that car in "Production" would be a nightmare.
Ahh, Winter in Southern AZ, t'shirts and shorts...sorry, I couldn't resist, you in the North can get me back in July!
