More F1-2 progress

Trial fitted the front wing today.
I didn't realise the wing was so big!
The end plates can be seen lying on the floor. Obviousy it all needs painting and a mate is coming over on Saturday afternoon to try and help get the scuttle panel made. I am trying to get the car back on the road, but at the moment I keep getting lots of extra work to do. I won't be able to do anything for a couple of weeks

The wings do seem a little large for the nose.

Also, would it be possible to move the nosecone back a bit as the ears for the rocker arms seem to have a large gap at the front?

LOL


The new nose and wing give the car a definite 80's F1 look IMHO. I like it

It is an F3 nose and wing. I had to move the wing forward to stop it touching my wheels so moving the nose any further back is not an option.

It looks like Groucho Marx with that front wing.

If it snows this winter you should be able to clear the road with that snow plough!

It looks a bit to big because of the wide angle lense. It doesn't look that bad close up.
