        Thanks shawb ,

        Here's a few more pics... things are coming together piece by piece. Before you all pat me on the back about the engine... be warned it's a model from TurboSquid. Hours of online searching turned up nothing in the way of good dimension drawings for a motor and transmission..... so went looking for a engine model. It's a pretty fair model, got a little messed up on import I think ( it was an .obj file. ). Don't get to close or you might see some problems here and there but worked well for final fitting out of the frame. Plenty more bits and bobs to do....

              Thanks Bryan , Avi , Heres a tease of more to come ( I hope ) . Did a quickie test render just to check some of my material set ups. Darn how many more parts left to do... I think this is getting a little out of hand. 😎

                    Texas Dave , avis , thanks for the interest. No chance for fat tires on this one. Even today skinny bias ply tires are real common on these type of "flats"cars.
                    Another update more bits inside worked out and got the hinges for the canopy in place. 😎

                          Really getting down to the small stuff now. Worked out latches for the canopy, starting to run wires and going back tweaking on various parts.
