The bonnet is made using a part of a SAS kit and the skirts are home made as well.

How hard was it to get the hood to conform to the curve of the RX-7 body?

Some great work, btw.

Just a bit if filing and some putty and sanding, quite easy really.

All was going well, painted the body with Halfords Appliance white, cut and polished, panels lined. then came the window frames rubbers in black..............Fu*k up time, tried to clean off, what a mess, put in brake fluid to strip and start again, but the paint will not strip at all. Now i need a new body, due to some over enthusiastic rubbing with a wire brush. just got pee'd off
B*ll*cks..............

Looks like the same case which happened to someone else in here a while back.

Hiroboy, I just noticed in your profile that you ordered a 350Z. You are rather rich aren't you? Owning 2 FTOs and now a 350Z.
