That's as close as Ferrari ever got to the back of a 962!

Got carried away last night ( Thanks god for my 12" thick insulated walls ) was still machining at 01:30am, before calling it a night.. Got the inside of the bell hogged out..

I haven't had a chance to look for the shot of the front wheel

Wow that's a slow double post.... But what a view... not that any red neck will even see that if I'm behind him .....

[GTRCLIVE]

Needs some hand finishing so it will look its best, but happy with how it came out....

[AlmostUseful]

Wow, very nice job.

[GTRCLIVE]

As you can tell by the Picture Overload I'm happy its worked out...

[AlmostUseful]

Seems a waste to put a body over that. 962/Atom combination?

[ceebmoj]

looks good, when you say hand finishing does that mean rubbing down / polishing to remove marks?

more than likely below the mirror line of their pickup truck so they will not even know you are there.

Yes the CAM program I use only accepts STL File transfers from the CAD. That tends to make large round shapes up of lots of small flats instead of a nice curve. It looks OK no scares etc but I think it would look so much better if it was a perfect round mirror. Hey every billet part made on a Zonda has hand finishing, so I don't feel so bad doing the same...

Great thanks.... we got 295/664/R18 so we are bigger radially which will help fill the arch seeing as we are lifting the body.

Head light clearance is going to be close.

Loose a little on the radius, gain a little on reduced width.

Those tyres sound massive, I've just got some CR6ZZ's for the rear of the gt40 and they are 295 wide 60 r15,
Can't imagine those on the front!
Can't find anything wider/higher for the rear that will be road legal here.
There are some 335s but not in the big baggy profile I'm after.

Been bust at the day job so no progress for the last 2 weeks, but got a good solid day in yesterday...
The connection from the front motor plate to the chassis is now welded in.
