WIP: 2009 Ed Carpenter Kentucky Runner-Up

sorry for the delay on this one but we just got unpacked and are in the act of packing back up and relocating once again.... but any way i have told eric and stew this car has been tucked away and worked on when it snows so now we are about 10% away from paint... here our my mods.... all are made from styrene and sanded down... the mirrors took a long time to get 100% matched (and had to take the mrs. out to a nice dinner because how long i spent on them) but they came out awesome!! thanks again to stu for the coaching! each one of the dallara mods is getting better and better!

That will be neat to see that bright yellow on it! Good work thus far!

Looking great Kevin. My rods for the front nose run under the front edge of the wing though. Your idea may add more wing support however!

Love the wicker running down the nose. I usually don't add this because it actually should go on last and sits on top of the decals. But, it's hard to paint by itself and even harder to glue on straight once the car is painted and the decals are on.

Super job so far and I know it will turn out great for sure. I love that you are going the extra mile on it!

Looks SWEET Kevin! But your not quite done! Looks like you need to paint some mirror glass in the mirrors! ;D
Awesome job!

i am about 90% done.. i have a few decals left to find and i have to finish the cockpit details and stu i have little mirros i just ran out of epoxy last night when i laid the seat in it and put it all back together.... and i need to get the impact seatbelt logos and glue them on. am adding gurney flaps and clear coating a few times and i hope to have ed sign it at indy but we will see. i had to use my studio camera because the yellow was just not showing on my standard canon. i have one more car in the works right now and then i am out of my 15 dollar dallaras i got at the speedway in december. it is going to be a 99 alex lloyd or a 21 ryan hunter reay bump day car
