Rick, yes I’m going to have to paint body panels this year as I have new 1/4 panels, new doors, and new fenders. I wanted to do the center section and just pin the rear (as pictured) but I dont have the cash for it right now.
The new rear 1/4 panels will be attached with dzus fasteners on the inside of the lip (so you’d have to remove the wheel and open the door to remove them and pull the 1/4 panel piece off. It’ll be half fiberglass have stock metal till I have all the other more important parts of the car finished and sorted.
Basically I’ll be cutting the body down to it’s 924 width and then adding the flares back on to have a reasonable width (which is the width the cars that ran LeMans had). I have removed the stock rear diffuser and had a friend work out some aero stuff for me, the car will have a full underbody with rear diffuser. Just need to put it up on the lift and bend up the metal and work out mounting for it. I’m a touch more concerned with finishing the engine right now though.
