Just about ready for paint.. Went ahead and added the aerocatch latches.

I absolutely hate bodywork. Two days of work and now it will take a week to clean my shop!

Hood is heavy! But should hold up.

Why does a car that can go that fast need a rear view mirror?

Movin'!

How is the surface for smoothness and traction? Was it swept and pebble/debris free?
