Sorry about the image sizes, I thought I had resized them. Here are some updated photos, after a weekend of myself, my wife and 6 mo daughter being sick as hell. All thats left is detail work, and installing the mountings for the chassy.
Decided to be creative and try a new resource. Used some scrap leather I had from an unrelated project to make the air intake on the hood.
The leather worked out after being sealed with rubber cement (leather being incredibly porous).
Taped off again, ready for painting.
Painted. I used what I had on hand, which was some crappy krylon fusion spraypaint.
Comments welcome.
