A lot has developed over the last week. Received word we were able to locate a short block (was on back order) and reassembly was started late this week.
Ive also picked up a few additional parts. Was able to work out a deal and pick up a lightly damaged Seibon trunk, FOR FREE. Literally only minor cosmetic damage to the resin and very slight fiber damage. Plan is to repair it and color match to the body. its the minor duckbill style, so needless to say this eliminates the use of the ted spoiler I had purchased and painted.... Welp, went wing shopping and found a basically BNIB APR gt250 wing chord, missing the stays and endplates. And that has set in motion a few things. One obviously designing and making endplates and stays for the wing. But also a front diffuser to balance it out. Being that I have a front sit lip, there will be no protusion bast its edge. Will be a flat bottom with the outsides inclined to generate some front end downforce to get aero balance with the new wing and diffuser.
