Looking forward to seeing how this build turns out! I read through your C6 build thread, that car turned out awesome! I have one question, what made you switch to a C3 based project? I realize the chassis, suspension, & brakes will be all modern, so it must be the far superior looks of the C3 body that changed your mind!

That is going to be sweet. I wish I have the funds to have gone with a SS chassis, but it was not to be. I really like that rear setup.

Do you know the history of the car? That's an awful lot of rust in that birdcage. Wondering if it has always been in Finland and someone drove it in the winter?

I started to make some practice and memory refresh with fiberglass and carbon. First I needed small items to make molds.
Working with final finishing of painted pieces
Waxing them about 5 times
Gelcoat drying.
Fiberglass spreaded.(made few mistakes)
Molds removed. Obviously fresh pait was not enough dry, see original parts.
Next I'll finish the molds for actual carbon part and continue practising
Any advice welcomed!!!

Your work is fascinating, your attention to detail is incredible and your modesty is well modest. Love the work you did on your last endeavor and I will continue to watch with anticipation. Thank you for the artist in you that we all wish we had.
