That's really nice and different, tastefully done. One day I hope to have mine done.
Alan, are you still on the Job ? I'm planning to visit my locations in WB & Berwick in January. Maybe I can buy you a cup.

Yes, it's a ZR-1 style rear cover. it's made of fiberglass, and it's a real PITA to fit to the body. The hood is the stinger-style hood from Ecklers. I opened the scoop yu on it, and I'm going to fit a monster air cleaner there, when everything's in.
 
There's 3 coats of color, and 2 coats of clear on it. I'll have a pic of it in the sunlight soon.
 
Warbird, what locations do you have here in the WB? Is it a business?
Let me know when you're up here. And yes, I'm still on the job. 14 years now. WOW-flying by.
 
Thanks for all the nice comments, and Luke---nah nah na nah nahLOL

Wow, I know those pictures are somewhat large, but judging from the date stamp, it took almost 4 years to upload those pictures????!  LOL
 
j/k Alan.  It looks very nice.  Thumbs%20Up  Any chance you can get a shot of the azz end and the rear window all in one shot?  I'd like to see what the tail end looks like from that perspective.
 
Post up some others when you get her bolted to the chassis.

Thanks, Norsky...I'm still stoopid when it comes to getting the sizes right on this 'puter.
 
It's my wife's digital camera...I didn't notice the date stamp till I posted them here.  DUH!!! HAHAHA  You should see the high-tech adhesive strip holding it together.
 
Warbird-Is the Penske place yours?
