I am still struggling with the rear deck cover! I have taken it apart and it is now in 3 pieces. I've even vac-formed it. It is so close, but...

Sounds like you are getting there, Patrick. Keep up the good work, the solution is within reach. You are a master craftsman.

Well, hrumph! I took the cover and broke it into 3 parts (no, I wasn't angry! LOL)so I could approach it in a different way...   then I vac-formed the center section a couple of times, cut and glued them in place...  this was good because it began to cover the turbo plumbing...  it was too thin so I made some more and glued those on, too...now a bit stiffer, but didn't fit correctly...   where upon I raised the white flag and unconditionally surrendered!!!!! It went into the box and I went on to other things for awhile. I'll be back you darn beastie...I'll be back! Patrick |

Calvin,
My "cool" vac-form machine is none other than Mattel's venerable vac-u-form machine I bought on Ebay many years ago. Some guy still makes the plastic sheets in white styrene and a clear sheet that has a protective film on both sides so the plastic won't get scratched. Not very big, but it works for small things.

You'll get it, Patrick, it won't get the best of you.

Lance,
Funny that you mention that. Two days ago I opened the box and looked over what still needed to be done. That blasted engine cover has me dead in my tracks. I recently scored on a "stock" engine cover and might just start all over on it! I might just show it (with out the cover or have the cover on the side) at the up coming NNL/West along with my Ferrari F1s.

Must be something in the air: I was just thinking of what ever became of this build, myself! Keep plugging!
