    Wow!

    On a slightly funny note, I think I have the same magnetic bolt/nut holder tray ... but mine will never stick to a F40!

    The last picture is a nice one. I've always enjoyed photos of cars done from angles you don't normally get to view them from. Hope we get to see a photo from this perspective with all her panels in place.

    I totally agree. Hopefully, Kevin being willing, we plan to do dressed and undressed.

    Why are you always so down on this thread! What's wrong with Kevin?!

    Actually very funny.

    Meanwhile turns out our injectors needed a bit of adjustment to fit but finally all going back together and looking delicious.

    And again.

    Dyno day looks like Monday so another major hurdle to overcome as we ramp the boost which will put Colin's engine building skills under pressure!

    Traveler,

    A BIG congratulations. Also, thanks again for sharing. I've been following since the beginning and this has been marvelously entertaining to say the least. Your car is a true masterpiece and your efforts will earn a place in automotive history. You did great.

    Thanks Guys and yes she definitely looks the part. I just love all that detailing and a pity it is hidden away like so many elements of this car, never to be seen again-I think particularly of the Carbon tanks.

    Fingers crossed we get some good numbers next week.

    All back in one piece and ready for Dyno Monday which we are videoing again and this time looking for more power.

    Meanwhile a couple of snaps of the front spoiler where we have covered the supports in black-one of a few more finishing touches to come.

    Will you be adding any sort of clear film protection to the car?

    We have currently applied protection just to the lower part of the front clam. Thinking about more but cannot decide.
