Looking good... a lot of nice toys in that shop.. corvette, lambo, buggy, what’s the story if you don’t mind ?
The one that looks like Santa's sleigh is a 1908 Buick. The vette is Mark's '72 Stingray. What looks like a Lambo is actually a Vaydor kit car.  In theory the idea is you buy a Infinity G35, saw the top half off, and bolt this body on.

Gotta love the toys... that’s why we all go this. Might have to start a thread just called “toys”     Keep up the good work and get some flakes on that thing!      IMHO  paint the shield blue

I tend to agree. As Doran said it could always have a coat of black shot on if he didn't like the blue. But, ain't my boat anymore. So we'll see.

Is that factory?  Tom Brown used that idea.  More lift.  The C500 is faster.  Nice shine.  Rich

Bottom's done. Final prep on deck. Note fuel fill delete. Gonna put it somewhere it ain't poking through the deck.

Make sense ...
So tank is still under front deck ?
And ash tray will be relocated to deck ...

Your going to put the fuel tank filler next to the ash tray and you smoke, anyone else notice a possible safety issue? Hard to notice sarcasm in text sometimes.    I'm curious to know how you extended the strakes, is it a block of wood, all glass, or something aftermarket?

Not much to report. As we're under a love bug delay. Deck's purty much ready for paint.
