Here is where I am so far on the body. I'm currently trial fitting the doors which were fabricated from .01" brass sheet. The original body was solid resin over a 1/4 inch thick and, because the interior is so visible I had to do something. So I carved everything out to give it a "empty beer can" look. That is so important to this car (and the Barchetta) that I felt it was worth the extra effort. The interior is now much roomier too - I hope my drivers appreciate that extra elbow room.
I also began test fitting the engine and drivetrain. It's just held together with rubber cement like everything else until I'm satisfied everything will assemble smoothly. I have to say the castings and body in this kit are quite smooth and only need a little cleanup. I have discovered what appears to be a major fit issue with the front engine mounts. When I work out a solution I'll add it to the WIP.
