Just one thing tho but i'm sure your aware of it, from looking at genuine pics, the front arches that stick out are higher on the orginals (inline with the top of the grill), are you going to do this?
Can't wait to see this featured or at a show, When is it planned to be finished by the way?
Keep up the good work.
the answer to your question is yes i am raising my arches to suit
